Board vacancies: Trusteeship and Chair

Trusteeship

IPNLF would like to bring on board trustees with a range of skills and senior business experience, including in strategic organisational leadership; financial management; effective governance; and corporate communications.

Potential trustees will be expected to provide wise counsel and constructive challenge to the Managing Director and senior management team and operate with mutual respect and co- operation.

We are seeking to appoint highly motivated individual(s) that will provide valuable contributions to support IPNLF in achieving its organisational mission and delivering on its organisational strategy.

Successful candidate(s) will be pragmatic and resourceful, proactive in networking, and

entrepreneurial in identifying and nurturing opportunities for potential future conservation funding partnerships.

We are looking for board members with excellent partnership development experience, a high degree of emotional intelligence, and sensitivity to the needs and interests of IPNLF’s partner communities and stakeholders.

Chair designate

We are also looking to recruit a chair designate to the board, to identify a trustee to take on leadership of the board after fulfillment of our current chair’s tenure. The chair will be responsible for leading the board and managing the working relationship between the board of trustees and IPNLF’s senior management team, as well as with external stakeholders. The chair will also act as a spokesperson and figurehead of the organisation, as appropriate, and will supervise and support the IPNLF’s Managing Director.

Mission Statement

We are an international charity working across science, policy and the seafood sector. We use the influence of the market to develop and demonstrate the value of one-by-one caught tuna for thriving coastal fisheries, and the people and seas connected with them. Our Mission is the particular way in which our organisation intends to make a contribution towards our Vision. Note that our mission statement does not explicitly say the words sustainable or equitable, social/ economic/ environmental as these are implied in the larger framing of 'value’ and 'thriving’; in addition these traits are outlined more specifically in our Strategic Focus.

Description

The International Pole & Line Foundation (IPNLF) works to develop, support and promote socially and environmentally responsible pole-and-line, handline and troll tuna fisheries around the world.

Engaging with these fisheries, collectively referred to as one-by-one tuna fisheries, helps IPNLF to fulfil its ambition of contributing to thriving coastal fisheries, including the people, communities, businesses and seas connected with them.

As a hub for sustainably-minded organisations, IPNLF uses the influence of the market to forge change through practical fishery projects and stakeholder cooperation. IPNLF membership is open to organisations involved in the one-by-one caught tuna supply chain. Allied with its Members, IPNLF demonstrates the value of one-by-one caught tuna to consumers, policymakers and throughout the supply chain.
