Our nominations for the Wakatū Committee of Management (Board) have now closed.
The Wakatū Board is made up of seven members and appointment is for a term of three years.
This year, the terms of two directors, James Wheeler and Rore Stafford expire. Both James and Rore are available for re-election for a further term of office and have advised they will be standing for re-election. In addition to James and Rore, we have seven other candidates who have been nominated. This gives a total of nine candidates standing for election for the two available Board positions at the 2023 AGM, with the AGM to be held at the Trafalgar Centre in Nelson on Saturday 2 December 2023.
For those who cannot attend the AGM in person to vote, please download and complete a proxy form, which ensures your vote can be counted. You can download the proxy form from here.
If you cannot attend the AGM in person and you would like to vote, please return your proxy form to Wakatū Incorporation, PO Box 440, or by email to katrina@wakatu.org by 9.00am Thursday 30 November 2023.
