Are you ready to roll up your sleeves and get involved in every aspect of building and funding the Whakatipu Community Hub? If so, we need you to become a Trustee and be at the heart of making our vision a reality!

Qualifications and Skills:

• Experience in governance, leadership, or community development roles is preferred but not essential.
• A doer, not just a talker, with an interest and proven hands-on involvement in community projects or initiatives.
• Strong communication, negotiation, and problem-solving skills – because getting things done sometimes means thinking outside the box.
• Passion for making a tangible, lasting impact in the Whakatipu community and a commitment to seeing projects through from start to finish.
• Knowledge of or willingness to learn about the Whakatipu community’s unique characteristics, challenges, and opportunities.
