HelpAge International Board Members Jobs in Kenya
ProfileThe Board of HelpAge International in Kenya has a rich tradition of members who are driven by their commitment and passion to ensuring the rights of older persons are upheld in Kenya. Serving on the Board of HelpAge International in Kenya offers a unique opportunity to support and help drive this in a youthful country that is rapidly ageing. The position of Board Member at HelpAge International in Kenya is non-remunerative, and all the work that individual Board members devote to the organization is done on an entirely voluntary basis.
Officially the time commitment required of Board members is the time required to prepare for and attend the quarterly Board meetings which for a maximum of one day at a time. These Board meetings take place virtually and, in the future, it may be decided for meetings to take in Nairobi at the offices of HelpAge International in Kenya.
In practice, Board members devote much more time than the actual meeting hours, by staying connected to the cause of HelpAge International in Kenya, learning about it and advocating for older persons. The Board members shall be required to form Board Committees as a result of which they may have specific assignments (in addition to the statutory work of their respective Committees) to execute on behalf of the Board in between statutory Board meetings.
Board members whose current careers are not already steeped in ageing issues often find it is useful to spend time outside of the Board and Board Committee meetings, familiarising themselves with and staying abreast of current population ageing issues. Board Members
may from time to time be called upon to represent the organisation in forums taking place within and outside Kenya. Even where Board members are not called upon to officially represent HelpAge International in Kenya, each member will be expected to always act and speak in public in a manner that helps to advance – and not detract from – the cause of the organisation and the ageing movement at large.
