Appendix 2: Further detail on HNZC appointments process

The terms of Jeff Staniland, Amos Forrester and Adrienne Young Cooper expired on 21 January 2012. Mr Forrester will depart the Board on 31 January 2013. Ms Young- Cooper continues to serve until formal decisions on reappointments are made.

Jeff Staniland did not seek reappointment at the end of his first term. He was the only South Island based director, and chaired the Corporation's risk committee (as the only qualified ‘finance' director).

With the retirement of Mr Staniland and Mr Forrester there are two vacancies on the Board. Hon Mr Heatley has run a process to identify candidates combining strong financial qualifications (seen as essential as no other directors have it), a knowledge of Pacific Peoples and their communities, and at least one South Island based appointee.

From a wide range of candidates considered, 5 were shortlisted for interview, and interviews were completed with the Chair, Deputy Chair and COMU on Wednesday 23 January 2012. You will receive a report on the outcome of this process shortly and, assuming you agree, a recommendation to proceed to APH committee as soon as possible (either 12 or 19 February).
