Description

Have you ever thought of applying for Directorship of a State Board?

Serving on the board of a State Agency offers you the unique opportunity to play a role in the strategic planning and direction of the agency to the benefit of the public it serves.

An analysis of a selection (50) of recent campaigns to select new appointees to State Board shows that 63% of names submitted to Ministers in 2021 were from private sector candidates, while 37% were public sector including non-profit/ charity organisations. All vacant positions are advertised on www.stateboards.ie

State Boards is part of the Public Appointments Service, the centralised provider of recruitment, assessment and selection services for the Civil Service, Local Authorities, the Health Service Executive, An Garda Síochána and public bodies. The process to identify eminently qualified candidates is open and transparent. 

Shannon Chamber would like to encourage members to consider applying for positions on State Boards and have invited Michelle Noone, Head of Senior & Executive Recruitment at the Public Appointments Service, to Shannon to outline the process for submitting an application.
