Your responsibilities will include managing teams, fostering partnerships, and making high-level decisions that guide the project forward.
What We Need
Firstly, the Poppy Field project is a community driven feat. Holding a place on the board of directors, provides legal influence over the direction of the project, but we are all equal in opportunity and potential. Therefore, to take up a position on the board, we need to see that you share the collective vision. This includes big ideas, action and connection. We need to see you in action, and creating change. As a leader, you'll be expected to lead by example, inspiring others to do the same; for people and planet.
A few things we'll need:
Traits - Some say "You're just born with it", but not always...
- Strong leadership
- Excellent communication
- Creative & critical thinking
- Compassion
- Passion for environmental causes, community engagement and innovative solutions. These are kinda our thing...

- Basic technology competency
- Excellent networking and partnership building
- Adaptability and multi-tasking
- Emotional and social awareness
Non-Essential (Preferred)

Join the Journey
In short, you’ll be at the heart of making sure the Poppy Field Co-op thrives, helping to turn our vision into reality and making a lasting impact.
IMPORTANT: This is a big responsibility (personally and legally), and there's no financial compensation for the duties of a charity director... so make sure you've got the space in your life. Commitment is a MUST!
Despite these warnings, this is a massively rewarding role. You'll be a core part of driving social, environmental and political change on the Sunshine Coast, helping provide housing, food, sustainability and renewable energy and conservation to communities, creating a bigger change than you could have ever imagined.
