Stand for election and help shape the future direction of NADP as a board member.
The NADP Board of Directors is a non-executive committee of 10 individuals who jointly ensure the organisation fulfils its legal, financial and other duties, acts in the best interest of its membership, and sets the strategy for the organisation.
Directors are elected for a term of three years and may stand for re-election. The powers, duties, and responsibilities of Directors are determined by legislation, government regulations, and NADP's governing documents.

Ready to shape NADP's future? Here's what you need to know about standing for election, applying, and voting.
You must be a current NADP member with demonstrable experience in a disability-related field within education. Your nomination requires support from two NADP members, one from a different employer. You cannot be prevented by law from holding a directorship.
Self-nominate with two member supporters during the nomination period. If nominations equal vacancies, all nominees are appointed. If nominations exceed vacancies, a membership vote is held. Successful candidates must attend the strategic planning meeting on February 10-12, 2026.
All NADP members have the right to vote in board elections. Voting is available via a poll on the NADP website, or can be submitted by phone or email to the NADP office when nominations exceed the number of vacancies.
We recommend seeking line manager consent before applying, as the role often involves commitments during working hours. To find out more, contact the office to arrange an informal chat at [email protected].
There are currently four vacancies for the term beginning February 2026 to February 2029. Successful candidates must attend a two-day strategic planning meeting on February 10-12, 2026.
