Ian chose to stand for re-election and a Call for Nominations went out to members in April, with one person being nominated. The nominee was Garry Nott of Tasman Homes (Nelson) Limited, in Nelson. In May, we went out to members to vote on who they would like to represent them on the NZCB Board for the one Member Director position – we received 210 votes. At this year’s NZCB Annual General Meeting, held via Zoom on 16 June, it was announced Garry Nott had been the successful candidate and elected onto the NZCB Board.
demonstrated an extraordinarily high level of commitment and passion during his time on the NZCB Board. I look forward to a continued relationship with Ian as he continues to advocate for NZCB through his involvement on external boards and groups, including the Building Officials Institute of New Zealand (BOINZ). Ian is passionate about youth development through his roles on the Boards of Lake Taupō Rotary and Taupō Pathways, so I’m sure there are many great things to come!
