The Institute has set this year’s Annual General Meeting date for Thursday 22nd of August 2019. The Auckland venue is yet to be confirmed, though it is planned that the AGM be bracketed with a CPD event. Details will be advised to members late July/early August.
The 22 August AGM will be the first to be held under the new NZIOB Constitution as ratified by the membership at the Institute’s Extraordinary General Meeting (EGM), which was held earlier this year in Christchurch. Following the 11 April EGM, nominations were called for the following positions: Chair and Board members of the National Board, and Chair and Committee members of the Regional Committees. An election would be required, should the number of those nominated for the roles exceed the number of positions to be filled.
For 2019, there is no requirement for an election. The make-up of the NZIOB’s National Board and Regional Committees is:
National Board

Graeme Earl (Regional rep) Hayley Groves (Membership rep) Matt McGuinness (Membership rep) Nigel Dong (Regional rep) Sonia Barker (Membership rep) |
