Leadership
The CPN is governed by a Board of Directors
CPN Board Directors play a crucial role in guiding the organisation, shaping our strategic direction, and ensuring that we fulfil our mission effectively. Board Directors serve a term of 3 years, with the option of renewal. CPN Board Directors are expected to commit approximately 5-10 hours per month on volunteer basis, including board meetings, committee work, and event participation.
The Corruption Prevention Network is committed to diversity and inclusion and encourages individuals from all backgrounds to apply when vacancies occur. Minimising corruption in NSW across the private, public, and non-profit sectors would result in enhanced public trust, increased economic efficiency, a fairer, more transparent governance system, and ultimately, a happier society.
