Period for nominations to the Executive Committee now open

The period for nominations to the Executive Committee is now open, and ends at 9am Monday 10 March. Nominations will be announced on or before Monday 17 March, and voting for all positions will open at 3pm Tuesday 18 March and close 3pm Tuesday 25 March.

There are several positions becoming available at this AGM:

  • Treasurer (officer position)
  • Two members with terms of office of three years
  • Two members with a term of office of one year (replacing committee members who have retired early).
Nominating

You may nominate yourself or another member of the College. If you wish to nominate another member, please first confirm that they would like to stand for a position (or positions), then email the General Manager (adrian@rnzcuc.org.nz) with your nomination. Those nominated will be asked to:

  • Identify which post(s) they wish to stand for.
  • Send a short bio that can be published on the website. See the website for examples.
  • Be available for a podcast interview.
Appointment after voting

Should any current committee member successfully stand for the officer position, or stand down for other reasons, the additional committee member position(s) that becomes vacant will be filled from those standing for the ordinary committee member positions. Those standing down in 2025 (two current members) can be re-elected if they wish to stand again.

Members may stand for both the treasurer position and committee member position(s). Votes cast for them in one position are not transferred to the other position.

Members standing for the ordinary member positions will be appointed as follows:

  • The two members with the highest number of votes will be offered the 3-year term positions.  They may decline and opt for a 1-year term. If this occurs the person with the next highest number of votes will be offered the 3-year term position.
  • Once the 3-year term positions have been filled, the 1-year term positions will be filled with the people with the next most highest votes, or those who opted the 1-year term position.
