At the 2023 AGM held on 7th December five new board members were appointed to the ITS New Zealand board for the 2023-2025 term, joining eight elected board members and three co-opted ex-officio board members.
The board growth follows the passing of a resolution to allow for an expanded board of up to fifteen directors, as was proposed by the existing board, to increase the resources needed to achieve aspirational objectives set out for the future.
The board roles Chair/President, Treasurer and Secretary will be confirmed in early 2024, along with committee leads who will drive specific activities and areas of business in line with the five-year strategy, developed during 2023.
