(prospective) member of the Supervisory Board

The member with a legal background will step down in the spring of 2025. In just over a year, the terms of two other members of the current Council will also expire. To allow their replacements a year to shadow them and get up to speed, we are already making room for two prospective members.

What will you be doing in one of these roles?

The Supervisory Board is the employer of the Executive Director and exercises comprehensive oversight of the Executive Director’s policies and the general affairs of MIMIK. The members of the Supervisory Board serve, both individually and as a team, as a sounding board for the Executive Director. The duties of the Supervisory Board are described in the Articles of Incorporation of the MIMIK Foundation. The Supervisory Board (RvT) operates in accordance with the Cultural Governance Code and the Diversity and Inclusion Code. 

The Supervisory Board consists of five members. The aim is for the Supervisory Board to be composed in such a way that the various fields of expertise and areas of focus are well represented. The Board meets at least four times a year and reviews its own performance at least once a year without the management present.

The Board has three committees: the Strategy & Policy Committee, the Compensation & Selection Committee, and the Audit Committee. We are currently seeking (prospective) members for the first two committees.

What are we looking for?

• General practitioners who, together with the other members, form a multidisciplinary team;
• Legal background and organizational knowledge (if you are applying as a member);
• Knowledge of the cultural sector;
• Courage, a willingness to collaborate, an understanding of and respect for each other’s roles;
• An active and open attitude toward stakeholders’ feedback and concerns;
• An affinity with MIMIK’s mission;
• Bird's-eye view;
• Decisive and results-oriented;
• A strong affinity for film, theater, art, and culture, as well as the city of Deventer;
• Independent, objective, and free from any appearance of a potential conflict of interest or accountability to a constituency.
• A relevant professional network and experience as a board member or supervisor with nonprofit organizations are a plus for a member of our Board of Supervisors. If you do not have board experience, you now have the opportunity to gain it through associate membership. 

What do we offer?

• An enthusiastic Board of Trustees with an eye for creating a positive atmosphere;
• The opportunity to gain board experience as a prospective member, learn from the expert members, and gain practical experience;
• An enthusiastic and professional team of employees at the Foundation and the LLC;
• Unlimited free movie tickets and discounts on theater performances;
• These positions are unpaid but can provide a valuable source of inspiration.
