The Okains Bay Māori and Colonial Museum Trust are looking for two new board members with skill and/or experience in one or more of these areas:
fundraising, sponsorship, education, GLAM sector, networking, capital project delivery, heritage management, community liaison, and people management.
New Board Members serve a 1-2-3-year term sequence which allows both the new board member and the current Museum Board to get to know each other without the need to commit long-term from the get-go. In this scenario, a new board member is first eligible for a one-year term, then two, then three.

Requirements:

The following are considered key qualifications for this role:

  • Knowledge of and, ideally, direct experience working in the community and the field in which the Museum operates
  • Commitment to the bicultural nature of Okains Bay Museum and the organisation’s mission and strategic directions
  • Sufficient time to devote to Trust Board duties
  • Openness to learn and willingness to participate in the work of Okains Bay Museum
    This may include:
  • Assisting and attending Museum events
  • Volunteering to help at working bees
  • Attending related community events and meetings
  • Carrying out specific museum-related projects aligned to your skills and experience
Time commitment:

We estimate that new Board Members will contribute 40-60 hours annually to core BoT duties.
Trust Board meetings are held bi-monthly, remotely and/or onsite at the Museum.

Getting started:
