Board Members - Nelson Festivals Trust
The Nelson Festivals Trust are looking for two new Trust members to help deliver on our refreshed strategy which sets an exciting and solid foundation for the future, as well as to support the team in staging a programme of unmissable arts experiences that will enrich the people of our region.
At the core of this offering is the Nelson Arts Festival, the longest-running annual regional arts festival in Aotearoa, taking place annually in October across Whakatū and Te Tau Ihu.
This an unpaid, voluntary governance role. Board members are not required to be involved with the delivery of any of our programmes but to bring their governance skills to the table.
We meet monthly as a board and also have working groups aligned to our strategy. These working groups meet as required between board meetings.
We’d love to hear from you if you have:
- A passion for the arts
- Governance experience
- An understanding of Tikanga Māori
- Strategic planning skills
- A strong understanding of financial governance and commercial experience
- Have strong community connections in the Nelson/Tasman region
We are particularly keen to encourage applications from tāngata whenua and younger members of the community as well as those representing the diversity of cultures who call our region home.
Please contact Ali Boswijk for questions, and to apply please send a CV and covering letter to: info@nelsonartsfestival.nz
