Being on the Board is a chance to promote and influence positive outcomes in health, safety and wellness in Canterbury.

What makes a good board member? 

A good board debates issues from a range of perspectives. A board requires a mix of strengths, with each board member contributing something unique and valuable to the culture and vision of the board. Board members also bring their individual experience and networks.

Having a diverse board that reflects the range of our membership means we capture a range of viewpoints to enable the board to make good decisions. This means representing a range of disciplines, ages and career stages – as well as being diverse in terms of gender and ethnicity.

A prerequisite for becoming a Board member is being a financial member of the Safety Charter. Think about what you might add to that mix if you took up this governance role.
