Around 8 hours a week, Canberra-based.
The Association of Commercial Air Conditioning Contractors (ACACC) started in mid-2021, and prior to that was the ACT branch of a national
association. The association has around 14 member companies, and the member companies cover all facets of the commercial air conditioning
industry in the ACT and surrounding areas of New South Wales. Aside from the Executive Director, there are two other part-time staff – a
Marketing and Administration Officer and an Accounts Officer (the latter works for an external firm). The Executive Director liaises with
members, a board of seven directors, but mostly with the President and Vice President. The current Executive Director works in a Wotso
shared office space in Canberra and from home. If more members are recruited, there is scope for the role to grow to two or more days a
week.
Duties:
Organising training events for members.
Organising and taking minutes at board meetings.
Managing a small team.
Liaising with the board and current and potential members.
Making sure the organisation is compliant with all ASIC requirements.
Setting up invoices for payment and liaise with accounts staff.
Write Executive Director messages for the e-news and provide feedback on e-news.
Liaising with the Canberra Chamber of Commerce and other construction industry associations.
Liaise with ACT Government ministers and bureaucrats.
Put together and update key brochures.
Other duties as required to benefit the association and its members.
Selection Criteria:
A background in industry associations.
Excellent verbal and written communication skills.
Highly organised and proactive.
Knowledge of and experience in the construction sector.
An interest in policy and advocacy.
Resident in Canberra or surrounding regions of New South Wales.
Knowledge of and experience with board governance.
Experience in managing a small team.
A renewal invoice is not a request for last year's money. It is a request to pay for next year's benefits. The moment a member — individual or corporate — opens that invoice, they make a decision: renew, or walk.
If your association is thinking about a rebrand because the colours look dated or a Board member doesn't like the typeface, stop. That's not the question worth asking. The real question is harder: does your organisation still represent the sector it claims to lead?
A website project is a governance decision with a technology component, not the other way round. The associations that get it right are the ones that invest in discovery, requirements, and contract scrutiny before a single pixel is designed. The ones that get it wrong skip straight to the demo, fall for the referral, and find out about ownership, integration, and total cost when it is too late to do anything but pay.
How we help membership based, not-for-profit associations now and into the future.
