National Executive Elections

Nominations for the National Officers and National Executive positions are now open. According to rule 25 of NZEI Te Riu Roa constitution, any full or provisional members of the Institute are eligible to be nominated and elected to serve as National Officers or National Executive members of the Institute.

You can find all the information about National Executive Elections, including a nomination form, here.

Honours nominations

NZEI Te Riu Roa has procedures whereby it can recognise those members who have given distinguished or outstanding service to education and / or the Institute. Members considered for recognition will have conducted themselves in ways that promote and maintain the dignity and welfare of the Institute, advanced the cause of education and reflected their responsibility to learners and the community. This recognition takes the form of the award of Honours, which are considered by the Honours Committee and made on behalf of the Union by National Executive and then announced at Annual Meeting.

You can access all the documents for the honours process here.

Resolutions

In the months leading up to Hui-ā-Tau, we put out a call for resolutions. All resolutions need to be sanctioned by the National Executive or a meeting of an Area Council, Branch, Aronui Tomua or Komiti Pasifika.
