PrideLink KZN Is Seeking Two Founding Directors

PrideLink KZN is currently seeking two additional Founding Directors to join the organisation during its institution-building stage. This is an opportunity to help shape the organisation from the beginning: its governance, strategic direction, priorities, relationships and the culture we want to build around responsible service to the LGBTQIA+ community.
The role is not an honorary title. Founding Directors will share responsibility for sound governance, accountable decision-making and the long-term sustainability of PrideLink KZN. They will help ensure that the organisation develops with appropriate oversight while remaining connected to the people and communities it exists to serve.
We are looking for people who are willing to contribute thoughtfully, work collaboratively and take the responsibilities of organisational leadership seriously. Relevant professional, governance, community, nonprofit, legal, financial, healthcare, social-development or other experience may be valuable, but we are not looking only for people who already hold prominent positions within LGBTQIA+ organisations.
PrideLink KZN's primary focus is KwaZulu-Natal. Our aim is to strengthen connection, support, opportunity and access to trusted resources for LGBTQIA+ people across the province, while recognising that useful services, partnerships and expertise can exist throughout South Africa.
PrideLink KZN is still being built, which means Founding Directors will be joining at a stage where their contribution can genuinely influence the organisation's future. Current work includes developing governance and policies, building community and provider relationships, expanding the Community Resources Directory, establishing partnerships and strengthening the systems needed to support future programmes.
Anyone interested in becoming a Founding Director can read more about the role on the dedicated Founding Directors page and submit an expression of interest. An initial conversation will take place before any commitment is expected, so that both the prospective director and PrideLink KZN can discuss the organisation, responsibilities, expectations and development process openly.
We are looking for two people who want to help build something credible, sustainable and genuinely useful to the LGBTQIA+ community.
