Meet the candidates

About

Get to know the candidates before you vote in this year’s ACE New Zealand Board elections.

The ACE New Zealand Board is responsible for the governance of ACE New Zealand. It oversees the strategic direction and management of ACE New Zealand, and reports to members on their stewardship of the organisation. 

The Board is made up of three appointed members and six elected representatives voted in by ACE New Zealand members for a three-year term. This year we're looking to elect two new members. 

A strong governing board is a diverse one and we want our Board to reflect our membership and the communities we serve. This year’s candidates come from a range of personal and professional backgrounds, from all over Aotearoa New Zealand.

In this online session, each candidate will take a few minutes to introduce themselves and the ways in which they would contribute to the future strategic direction of ACE New Zealand. We’ll finish off with a short Q&A for ACE New Zealand members to get to know the candidates better.
