Engines of Success MD, Phillip Cenere FAIM GAICD, joins National Congress of Australia’s First Peoples’ remuneration committee.
The National Congress of Australia’s First Peoples is a national voice for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples.
In December 2008 the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Social Justice Commissioner convened an Independent Steering Committee to research a preferred model for a national representative body for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
A comprehensive series of consultations and workshops were held around the country gathering feedback and advice from Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities about the model.
The Committee wound up its work in April 2010 when the first Board of the National Congress was appointed and the company was incorporated.
Today, Congress:
* advocates for the recognition of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples rights
* works towards securing an economic, social, cultural and environmental future for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples
* builds new relationships with government, industry and among communities,
* has fair and diverse membership, guaranteed gender balance for delegates and office holders ensures participation from youth, urban, regional and remote communities
* encourages new leadership
* will grow and change based on decisions made by the members, the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people
