Office Bearers
In accordance with the Associations Incorporation Act 2015, nominations for Office Bearer roles (Chairperson, Deputy Chairperson, Treasurer, Secretary) for the 2025 committee can be sent to info (at) dddperth.com email address by 23:59 on the 6th of January 2025.
We will also be seeking nominations for Directors roles.
Director Responsibilities
Signing up as a Director is a significant responsibility and time commitment. With the conference having scaled to 1450 attendees and 40+ speakers there is a lot of behind the scenes work that makes the conference successful. Directors commit to attend monthly meeting for most of the year which scales to fortnightly then weekly meetings for the 2 months prior. Most Directors will need to manage a sub-committee (which is generally between 1–4 people) to help spread the workload. On average most Directors spend 2–3 hours per week, with this ramping to 4–6 for the 2 months prior depending on the role.
The Director is responsible for creating a strategy, plan and budget for their area of remit (that supports the overall Committee strategy & plan) and then share that with the Committee for feedback and approval. Directors provide updates of their progress to plan at each Committee meeting and seek input, support or decisions needed.
If you are interested in finding out more about the 2025 Director opportunities in the following areas please reach out for a deeper dive to our current Chairperson Donna Edwards (donnae@), Vice Chair Alex Colville (alexc@) or Treasurer Josh Sewell (treasurer@) for more information prior to nominating and we will give you as much support and guidance as possible so you can ensure this is for you!

If you would like some more details on what each area involves, our previous Chairperson Rebecca Waters (opens in a new tab) has a blog post published here and while some of these have areas have slightly changed or expanded due to the scaling of DDD Perth it will give you a general idea of whether your skill set and passion area is a good fit.
Members
Members are a critical part of the conference organising team, working with directors to deliver a specific aspect of the conference. Directors will lead Sub-committees to help them scale and while you won’t have to attend regular committee meetings, you may attend separate Sub-committee meetings and will take responsibility of smaller areas of the overall Directors remit. Members also still have a vote at important meetings like our AGM each year.
If you’re interested in being part of the DDD organisation, but DON’T want to be an Office Bearer or Director, then send your details to info at dddperth.com by 23:59 on the 6th of January 2025.
