EXPRESSION OF INTEREST IN JOINING DADAA LTD BOARD OF DIRECTORS

Do you have a lived experience of disability?Are you passionate about the arts?

You may be the person we are looking for!

The board of DADAA is a place where your lived experience will be a great asset to the governance of our organisation.

DADAA is a community arts and cultural development organisation based in Fremantle, Midland and Lancelin. We are focused on creating significant social change for people with disability and mental health issues.

DADAA follows both the Social and Affirmation Models of Disability in the delivery of its programs.

The Social Model views disability as a problem of the built environment and not a medical condition, while the Affirmation Model promotes a non-tragic view of disability.

Both Models address the need for change in society’s values, practices and assumptions in order to remove barriers to full participation and real inclusion of and by people with disability in all facets of their lives.

WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR

DADAA is currently undergoing significant change and expansion and we are seeking new Board Directors to lead DADAA through this exciting new period.

It is highly desirable for potential new Board members to have a lived experience of disability.

We are looking for people with disabilities who work well with others and respect and promote diversity.
