Are you looking for an opportunity to shape and lead RiskNZ?

RiskNZ is the leading non-profit association for risk professionals in New Zealand. We aim to bring together people and organisations managing risk under the guiding vision that New Zealand Prospers when risk is well managed. RiskNZ is seeking nominations from RiskNZ members for four vacancies to join the Board for 2 years. These are voluntary roles.

We are particularly seeking individuals with the drive and energy for the following roles:

  • 5 x Board Members

Our Board members are visible and influential and enjoy active engagement with our members, building relationships and seeking opportunities to add value. We want the board to reflect our members – (diversity of age, gender, culture, and experiences).

To be a RiskNZ Board member you will:

  • Be an Individual Member of RiskNZ, or the named representative (the Authorised Representative) of a Corporate Member, or Life Member,
  • Have a good understanding of the practical application of risk-based decision making,
  • Be committed to good governance and management,
  • Have strong self-awareness; sound ethics and integrity; be an independent thinker and a great relationship manager,
  • Be able to commit the time to the role (see position description),
  • Be able to attend regular monthly board meetings (by video conference) and participate in face-to-face meetings twice a year.

The voting process will begin in mid December 2021 and conclude in mid January 2022.

The election results will be announced in early February. If there are four or less suitable candidates, those people will be appointed to the Board.

Please note that all Board roles are voluntary and are unpaid and that all board members are asked to commit up to four hours per week in management and governance functions.

RiskNZ Board and our Responsibilities

The Board is made up of ten elected members (including the Chair; Deputy Chair, Secretary and Treasurer as ‘Board Officers’) and may include up to 2 co-opted Board members. 

Our Board is geographically dispersed, and Board Members bring a range of perspectives to the table. 

We are responsible for the stewardship and future well-being of the organisation.

Board members exercise leadership, enterprise, integrity, and judgement in directing RiskNZ, to provide assurance of its continuing and lasting prosperity.
