Vacature Raad van Toezicht - NonFiction Photo

Vacancy

Members of the Board are needed who are willing to use their knowledge and network to help the NonFiction Photo Foundation: a non-profit organisation which organises and produces photo exhibits. This is done through the determination of a large group of volunteers who apply themselves to common causes; giving newfound creators and culture professionals an opportunity to develop their art and enrich the world with their knowledge.

NonFiction Photo produces local exhibits and presents ongoing displays such as the World Press Photo Exhibition. These exhibitions show the best of photojournalism from the Netherlands and the wider world as part of the NonFiction Photo Festival.

Supervisory Board

Because the current members are signing off, we are looking for additional members of the Supervisory Board of whom we expect that they, besides specific knowledge and expertise, fit the general profile of a member of the Supervisory Board.

Profile

Members of the Supervisory Board:

Recognize the mission and vision of NonFiction Photo.
Have affinity with photography and visual culture.
Not only supervise the policies by the directors, but also function as an involved focus group and sparring partner.
Maintain a relevant network in the cultural sector, business sector, societal organisations and/or politics and are willing to apply them.
Have a deeply rooted understanding in the dynamic between local and national authorities in the political-administrative context where NonFiction Photo operates.
Are capable and willing of becoming an ambassador for us.
Co-sign the Governance Code Cultuur, the Code Diversiteit & Inclusie and the Fair Practice Code and act accordingly.

NonFiction Photo is looking for candidates for the supervisory board who fit this general profile, but additionally possess:

Experience in an executive administrative function
Experience in an executive financial function

Tasks

The supervisory board aids in discussing the future of the foundation with regards to education, talent, sustainability, entrepreneurship and artistic endeavours.

Bonus

Free admission to the festival and other miscellaneous events.
An invite to the festival VIP opening.
Tickets to the Academy programme with tours and lectures.
Possibly meeting (international) photographers.

Meeting hours

The supervisory board meets around 4 times each year. Thus we expect a supervisory board member to dedicate time and attention to reflect on the policy and execution within their own purview. Members are installed for a period of four years and can be reappointed twice.

Protesters using slingshots and other homemade weapons in a clash with security forces in March. “You see these young men with slingshots and homemade weapons that could barely kill a bird, facing a military,” The Times’ photographer said. “They’re fighting for their freedom and democracy.”

Diversity

NonFiction Photo welcomes members from all ages, cultures and backgrounds. We encourage everyone to apply. With equal aptitude the preference goes out to the candidate who contributes the most to the diversity of the board.

NonFiction Photo Community

NonFiction Photo gelooft in de kracht van kunst, educatie, talent en ondernemerschap. Op basis van deze vier pijlers, beweegt de stichting zich binnen de wereld van visuele cultuur, om in gesprek te gaan over actuele sociaal- maatschappelijke vraagstukken. Daarom organiseert en produceert NonFiction Photo photo exhibitions and is guided by its Manifesto.

In the setting of social entrepreneurship, many team members from the Northern provinces are working together with international students and expats; a diverse volunteer community; and people with a distance to the job market. As such we carry the stories of the North to a broad and international audience.

To give the exhibitions and the creators' concept behind this a greater reach, we are constantly organising education– en talentprojects
