Racing NSW and Scone Race Club are calling on applications for four independent directors on the club’s board.
The country race club, located in the breeding heartland of the Hunter Valley, is seeking candidates to join the club and its “shared goal in shaping its future as a revolutionary thoroughbred racing and training centre within country NSW”.
“People experienced and qualified in law, accounting, business management, commerce, business development, sales, construction, marketing and event management or other key business skills are encouraged to apply,” the notice says.
“Governance experience is highly recommended. While racing industry experience is advantageous, it is not essential.”
The candidate will front a selection panel convened by Racing NSW to review applications, shortlist candidates, and conduct interviews.
“Final appointments will be made by Racing NSW based on the Selection Panel’s recommendations and the skills needed to complement existing Board members,” the notice says.
“It is important that members of the Board are free from any business or other relationship that could materially interfere (or could reasonably be perceived to materially interfere) with the independent exercise of that director’s judgment.”
Applications are to be submitted to Racing NSW by November 24.
