Expressions of Interest
For the last two years the Panel Chair, Neil Challenger, has lead the charge in shepherding Registration candidates through the final stages of their journey towards Registered Membership. As the Panel Chair’s two-year tenure has concluded, his role will now be taken up by the Deputy Chair, John Potter.
On behalf of the Institute I would like to thank Neil for his significant, valuable and professional contribution to both the Institute and to the candidates over the last two years. His passionate input has been much appreciated and has allowed Registration to not only work well, but to also advance and improve. Kia ora Neil.
As the previous Deputy Chair has now succeeded the Panel Chair, we are seeking a committed Registered Member to take the role of Deputy Chair of Registration Interview Panel. This is a two-year position with the expectation that after two years as Deputy Chair, the incumbent will take over as Panel Chair.
Like all roles within the Institute, it’s a job you do for the love of the profession, and because you realise it’s important to give back. This position is a crucial role and one that is rewarding. It is also a role that you will not be expected to do alone - you will be joining an established group of people who work on Registration. These people include the Panel Chair, the Executive Committee member holding the Professional Development Portfolio, the Registration Working Party (which includes the Branch Co-ordinators from Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch) and the Institute’s administrative support team.

All expressions of interest should be emailed to admin@nzila.co.nz by close of business Friday 7th May along with a short statement outlining your interest in the role.
