Join The Board!

Are you ready to make good things happen in our community?
Bendigo Community Bank Cannonvale-Proserpine is seeking expressions of interest to join our Board.
“Like many of the organisations and clubs we sponsor, the Board of the locally owned and operated Bendigo Community Bank are also volunteers,” said Community Bank Cannonvale-Proserpine Chairman Mark Henry.
“We acknowledge and value the passion and commitment volunteers make to any organisation. There are so many opportunities available to get involved, to find a meaningful role and make a difference. Joining our Board might be one of those rewarding, unique opportunities.” said Mark.
The Bendigo Community Bank ‘profit-with-a-purpose’ model is unique which sees a percentage of the profits generated by the Bank branch invested back into the community.
The establishment of the Branch was backed by local shareholders who saw the value of the Community Bank model and raised $800,000 locally to establish a branch in the Whitsundays.
“We thank our shareholders for backing the Whitsundays community and providing an essential banking service to our customers, and all the passionate local Directors past and present for their hard work and dedication,” said Mark.
Are you looking for a role to:
   • influence strategy and determine how we invest in our community through our sponsorships?
   • make a positive impact in our local community?
   • advance your director, board experience, or leadership capabilities; or simply give your time and expertise?
If so, the Community Bank Cannonvale-Proserpine Board invites you to consider nominating.
We are looking to reinforce our Board’s strengths and diversity by adding new members who bring different perspectives and skills on strategy, finance, community engagement, and marketing.
The locally owned and operated Branch opened its doors 5 June 2012 and is one of 322 community banks across Australia.
For a confidential conversation about Board member role, responsibilities, and expectations please contact the Chair of the Board, Mark Henry, on chair@whitsundaycel.com.au by Monday 30 September 2024.
