The Board Appointment and Induction Guidelines is a resource to support the work of State sector officials and of Ministers and Ministers’ offices involved in the appointment of, and induction processes for, board members. The guidelines have a strong focus on statutory Crown entity appointments and induction. However, the principles in the guidelines apply to all government board appointments, unless there are particular provisions in individual agencies’ legislation that state otherwise.
The State Services Commission will keep the guidelines under review and amend them regularly. Suggestions for revision or improvement are welcome, and can be sent to: governance@ssc.govt.nz.
