Board Meetings Attended
Under the NAIF Act the Board is required to meet a minimum of twice each financial year. The Board met thirteen times during the reporting period. Meetings were held in northern Australia, including Cairns, Townsville and Mackay. Six of the Board meetings were held by telephone. A meeting was also held in Brisbane, in Canberra and two were held in Perth. In line with the BARC Charter, some Board members also attended BARC meetings during the reporting period.
The Board also participated in strategic planning and workshops to review, monitor and update NAIF’s strategic direction and risk management framework, including its risk appetite. A strategic workshop on communications and stakeholder engagement was also held in FY18-19.
