Harbour Sport has a vision of a physically active and healthy community and strives to influence more people to participate in sport and physical activity. Our strategy is focused on our tamariki and rangatahi and the Māori, Pasifika and Asian populations in Auckland’s North Harbour region. By providing advocacy, expertise, investment and resource, Harbour Sport models and shares best practice in governance, management, leadership and community development to sports clubs and organisations in our local area.
Due to trustees reaching the end of their appointments, Harbour Sport is seeking to recruit new trustees to join our board. To ensure we have a balanced and diverse board we encourage applicants from all communities and seek a range of commercial, professional and lived experience. Harbour Sport is committed to honouring Te Tiriti o Waitangi across our organisation and we particularly welcome applicants with skills and experience to strengthen our Te Aō Māori capability. Expertise in HR would also be a valuable attribute.
Harbour Sport holds the GovernanceMark quality standard for sport and recreation demonstrating a commitment to high quality governance. The Board has a strong governance culture, operates at a strategic level, and has a deep commitment to meeting the needs of the Harbour Sport community. Collegiality, the ability to work constructively with fellow trustees, preparedness to be an active contributor and to commit the time and effort required are all key attributes. Prior governance experience is beneficial but not essential.
This is a voluntary appointment with bi-monthly in-person board meetings along with additional sub-committee meetings and strategy sessions. It is expected that interested applicants will have an affinity with the region that Harbour Sport operates in and value the work that Harbour Sport does within our community.
