Nominations for Executive Committee

Nominations are now open for the UAVNZ Executive Committee. Elections will be held for Chair, Deputy Chair, and up to eight ordinary committee members (a total committee size of ten) at our AGM on 17 November 2025. All positions will be held from the 2025 AGM until the 2026 AGM. All nominees must be financial members of UAVNZ or another division of the Aviation Industry Association of New Zealand and have their nomination supported by two other financial members (note most members are members by virtue of their organisation rather than as individuals). You may be nominated by a financial member from the same organisation as yourself, but at least one of the nominators must be from a different member organisation. If there are more valid nominations than positions available, then a vote will be called at the AGM and each nominee will have the opportunity to give a brief address to the membership. To be nominated for a committee position, please fill out the form below. Nominations close at 5pm on 14 November.
