Annual General Meeting of OraTaiao: The New Zealand Climate and Health Council

The Annual General Meeting of OraTaiao: The New Zealand Climate and Health Council will be held on Monday 29 November at 7.30pm via audioconference/videoconference (using Zoom). This is an excellent opportunity to catch up with fellow OraTaiao members and to see what has been happening over this very eventful year. Please join us if you can – we’d love to have as many members attending this meeting as possible.

Details of the agenda and how to join the videoconference will follow closer to the date.

In the meantime this is the call for nominations for the Executive Board.

Nominations Called for the 2021/2022 OraTaiao: The New Zealand Climate and Health Council Executive Board

Nominations are invited for positions on the Executive Board for 2021/2022. We are keen to receive nominations for the co-convenor positions. We are also keen to increase the diversity of our Executive Board – in particular, it would be great to hear from any of our Māori or Pasifika members who may be interested in being part of the Board. The nomination form is attached here.

The positions open for election are:

• Co-convenors (two, one of whom is Maori)
• Officers of the Executive Board (up to fourteen)

With the exception of co-convenors, nominations for Officers of the Executive Board are not for specific Board positions. Possible board roles, which will be agreed among Board members at the first Board meeting, are as follows:

• Secretary
• Treasurer
• Membership Officer
• Media Liaison Officer/s
• Website Coordinator/s
• Policy Development Coordinator/s
