Shout out to paid up members

We need your help! To run a successful charity, we need member participation on our board! We simply could not succeed without you. We need you to join us and provide diverse skills that will help us deliver on our mission and values.

Why: our objective is to help our members, to provide information, support and services, to promote independent living for people with MD and to support and fund research. On our board, we have people who have MD themselves or are family members of those affected by MD and we are looking for all perspectives. People who are passionate about helping MDI but who may not be associated with the organisation are also welcome.

What you will be doing: You will be required to:

• advise the management team on important topics and strategy direction

• ensure the needs of the members are met in line with the strategic plan
• strive to work with the organisation to deliver on our mission and values
• ensure that all legal and financial obligations are met
