- Description: The Commonwealth Foundation is seeking five Civil Society Advisory Governors, each representing a region of the Commonwealth (Africa, Asia, Caribbean and Americas, Pacific and Europe). These positions are for two years (July 2025-June 2027). The Advisory Governors provide guidance, advice, and support to Member State Governors and the Directorate. They do not have a decision-making role. The role requires a strong background in civil society engagement within the respective region, the ability to represent regional civil society interests, an understanding of the Foundation's intergovernmental position, and the capacity to work constructively with governments. The time commitment is estimated at around half a day per month plus additional days for travel. The positions are unpaid beyond expense reimbursement.
