Basketball New Zealand is the national sporting organisation for basketball in Aotearoa. Our vision is for a hoop at the heart of every community. Read more about what we do at www.nz.basketball
Basketball continues to experience explosive growth, especially amongst youth. Basketball appeals to all genders, all ages, ethnicities and cultures – it is a global sport with further unrealised potential.
Strong governance is key to realising this potential. Applications are invited for three positions on the Board of Directors (two Elected by our member associations and one directly Appointed). The vacancies exist due to the existing Elected and Appointed Directors having completed a four-year term. Directors are able to complete a maximum of two consecutive terms.
Directors are volunteer positions, responsible for setting the strategic direction of basketball, national budgets and finance, meeting international obligations and monitoring progress against strategic and annual plans. The Board meets approximately eight times per annum, either face-to-face or online.
A Board Appointment Panel will assess candidates against a range of criteria including:
- An in depth understanding of governance functions and principles
- Strong commercial and financial experience
- Strategic acumen
- The ability to enhance diversity
- Knowledge of and/or interest in basketball
All applications will be considered on the merits. The Board Appointment Panel will appoint a candidate to the Appointed position and will recommend suitable candidates for the election process at the Basketball New Zealand AGM, scheduled for Sunday 11 May 2025. Successful candidates will be expected to be available to attend the AGM.
If you believe you have the necessary attributes, please submit your application through https://www.appointbetterboards.co.nz/position/apt22170
Applications close at 5pm on Sunday 2 March 2025.
