Board & Team Members

Our Board

The WasteMINZ Board provides governance and strategic direction for WasteMINZ, monitors the organisation's performance, and protects the integrity of the organisation.

WasteMINZ is governed by a board that consists of six members elected by the organisation’s members. 

The Board is guided by a Charter, developed by the Board in mid-2022.  The purpose of the Charter is to make the roles and responsibilities of Board members clear, and to be open and transparent about how the Board works. Click here to read a high-level overview of the Charter. 

Board members serve for a term of two years, with elections for three Board positions held each year. Any financial member can be nominated to serve on the Board. For each election, voting papers and nominee details are sent to the primary contact of each membership.
