AGLS Board
The AGLS board is made up of heads of legal practices and other senior government lawyers from Australian Government agencies. The AGLS board has worked to establish key governance frameworks to support the aims of the AGLS since the board was created in November 2020.
Under the AGLS Terms of Reference, there are 11 members appointed to the AGLS board. The board met for the first time on 24 March, 2022, where 5 inaugural members were farewelled and 5 new members welcomed.
Members nominated Lisa Keeling as AGLS board chair. She will liaise with the AGLS team to develop meeting agendas, ensure progression of action items, and report to the Attorney-General's Department Secretary on AGLS activities. She noted:
As the AGLS moves into its second year, the focus remains on consolidating what we have built already and supporting and developing government lawyers and in-house legal areas to enhance consistency and efficiency across the APS.
One of the key objectives for the AGLS is to offer new opportunities for government lawyers to learn from and support their peers and experience a sense of shared purpose in performing their roles.
