Hi All
Well I think someone must of been holding my arm in the air when the question went out for nominees for four new positions on the Board of Motorcycling New Zealand. My success at gaining one of those (road north island position) seems to have happened quicker than losing the front on a cold tyre.
I stood against the experienced Paul Stewart for the position, - but Paul withdraw and stood for one of the other board positions, but was unsuccessful. I thank Paul for his help with getting introduced to the new position, and wish him all the best for the future.
I was therefore unopposed, - so instead of thanking those members that did vote for me, - I'll have to thank those that were "intending" to vote for me!
I now join fellow Kiwibiker Kevin Goddard - who is also a current MNZ board member.
My position does not allow me to discuss board matters or any governance issues in public of course, However part of being a board member means I can seek input from various sectors on matters relating to MNZ and its members. I can also offer answers on any information that is "public knowledge" such as MNZ organizational structure and whom to direct / ask your questions to if you are not sure.
My personal policy is to have transparency, clear lines of communication, empowerment of key positions - and also to have a foundation structure in place that is as flat as possible and as accountable as possible so that members can understand how the MNZ body works, and "who" is responsible for "what"
I have already gained some solid input from key industry players and will continue to seek information from those that are willing to share their experience and provide constructive input.
Cheers
Glen Williams
