RWNZ has opened nominations for the position of a North Island board member.

The role became vacant after North Island board member, Sandra Matthews, was made National President last year.

The usual term for this role is two years, however this particular position is due to re-election at RWNZ’s 2025 AGM.

Therefore, the term for the role will end at the AGM this year and will be included in the annual cycle of nominations and elections for national board members next year.

According to a summary of information about board roles, the board is responsible for the overall governance of the organisation, including ensuring the long-term viability of the organization and enhancing its performance through strategic and policy development.

Board members are required to attend board meetings, national conferences, any emergency meetings and other official functions as required.

Nominations close on Friday 17 January 2025 at 5pm.

If required, an election will then be held between Friday 24 January and Friday 7 March 2025. Members will subsequently be advised of the outcome of the election no later than Friday 17 March 2025.
