A friendly reminder to the NZSIA members that the Annual General Meeting of NZSIA will be held at Peak Functions, 181/185 Upton St, Wanaka – 5.30pm – Thursday 16th June 2016.
Proposed Motions:
Any proposed motions and items of business from Members and Board of NZSIA, including alterations to the constitution, must be received in writing by 4.00pm Thursday 12th May 2016.
Board Vacancies:
There are 2 positions on the board available for election:
President – Peter Clinton-Baker will be running again for President.
Vice president – we are calling for nominations (Fiona Boyer will not be running again)
Suggested Qualities for these two Positions:
We recommend candidates are independent board members. Full-time employment in the Snowsports industry is not a requirement.
The role of a board member of the NZSIA carries responsibility across the areas of risk, liability, leadership and communication. A board member’s role is to always act in good faith and always with the best interests of the NZSIA.
Nominees will have the skills to engage in the development, approval and monitoring of NZSIA strategy.
An ideal candidate will be familiar with but not necessarily currently involved in snowsports currently. You will need to be a current NZSIA member.
Experience in one or more of the following areas is highly desirable:
- Health & Safety Management
- Organisational Management
- People and Performance
- Legal and Risk, international /NZ
- Leading strategy and direction
- Leadership of culture and values
- Financial Management
Application for these Board Member positions must be received by the Executive Officer of NZSIA by 4.00pm 12th May 2016. Applications forms can be found here and online via download.
