The Cafs Board is responsible for the governance of Cafs. Ultimately, Board members accept responsibility for the services delivered by the organisation to the community and its clients.
This involves monitoring the overall direction and performance of the organisation and being accountable to the association membership for the legal and financial responsibilities of an incorporated association.
Board members are expected to be responsible community members and capable of representing a wide range of community groups and diverse social views.
