Apply for the Midsumma Observership Program
Interested in governance but not sure where to start? The Midsumma Board Observership Program offers a unique opportunity to gain hands-on experience in board governance and contribute to the future of Australia’s leading LGBTQIA+ arts organisation.
As a Board Observer, you’ll participate in Board meetings, have opportunities to engage with committees and strategic planning, and contribute your perspective to important conversations shaping Midsumma’s future.
Designed for emerging leaders and people from diverse lived and professional experiences, the program helps build skills, confidence and pathways toward future board participation. No previous board experience is required — just curiosity, commitment and a passion for community and culture.
Board Observers play a valued role in enriching discussion around the Board table, and we welcome expressions of interest from members of our community who want to grow their governance experience while supporting Midsumma’s mission.
How to apply
To express your interest, please email a short cover letter detailing your rationale for joining the Observer Program and indicating how this program might assist both you and Midsumma, to [email protected]
