2019 Member-Nominated Directors

2019 Member Nominated Director Members

The New Zealand Greyhound Racing Association, also known as Greyhound Racing New Zealand (GRNZ), is the governing body for all Greyhound Racing in New Zealand, as authorised by the Racing Act 2003. GRNZ leads a small but dynamic Code working within the Racing Industry to improve the overall commercial viability of Racing for all stakeholders. This is an interesting and challenging role in an industry that is a significant contributor to the New Zealand economy.

GRNZ now seeks nominations for two Member Nominated Director vacancies. The term of appointment is for three years from the November 2019 AGM.

Ideally nominees will be skilled in two or more of the following areas:

●     Championing collective board accountability for maximizing animal welfare

●     Business and financial management

●     Racing, especially Greyhound Racing exposure

●     Governance and boardroom exposure/experience

●     Project and change management experience (given the industry-wide reforms).

●     Relatable to stakeholders, especially clubs

An interest or background in greyhound racing is desirable, an understanding of how sporting bodies or membership organisations work, and an understanding of the relationship between member clubs, other stakeholders and a governing body, such as GRNZ, would be a distinct advantage.

All nominations, to be marked private and confidential. Nomination requirements and eligibility criteria are set out in the GRNZ constitution, found in the Rules & Policies section of this website. A copy of the position description and the Application/Nomination Form can be downloaded below.
