Seeking NZTech Board Nominations 2022
Our Annual General Meeting (AGM) is coming soon and that means election season is now upon us!
NZTech is the voice of the organisations that are redefining the world we live in.
NZTech’s mission is to support a values-led, nationally connected tech community that is collectively lifting equity, sustainability and prosperity for all in Aotearoa, by creating jobs, export growth and impact through tech for good.
NZTech’s vision is an equitable, sustainable and prosperous Aotearoa New Zealand underpinned by good tech.
Our purpose is to help create a more equitable, sustainable and prosperous Aotearoa New Zealand underpinned by good tech.
To continue building on our success, it is critical to have the drive and support of a purposeful Board. We are now seeking nominations for our Board and encourage you to consider the role or nominate someone who can make an impact. In line with our Board Diversity & Inclusion Policy, we have actively identified skills and experience needed to help us accelerate our strategies and ensure diverse thinking.
For the current NZTech strategic outcomes, we are seeking candidates with any of the following skill sets:
- A strong understanding of tikanga and Te Ao Māori or Pasifika culture.
- Strong financial acumen.
- International marketing skills.
- An involvement in sustainable frameworks as it relates to the technology sector.
In addition to these skills, NZTech strives for a diverse Board. We encourage all involved to consider the current makeup of the Board and how candidates for vacant seats might enable the Board to gain a more diverse perspective.
