Kia ora koutou,
Surfing New Zealand is inviting expressions of interest to join our newly established Athlete Advisory Group.
The Group exists to bring independent, athlete-informed perspectives directly to the Surfing New Zealand Board and leadership, ensuring the voices of current and former athletes are clear in decision-making across all areas of athlete experience. We’re looking for athletes who are keen to grow their leadership skills, contribute meaningful insights, and help drive real change within our sport.
The Group will be made of five to seven members, including an elected Chairperson, and will meet a minimum of four times per year. A Surfing New Zealand Board member and management representative will also attend meetings. We’re aiming to form a group that reflects the full breadth of the Competitive Surfing NZ community, with members drawn from across:
- National and regional levels
- Junior and development pathways
- High performance and international representation
Expressions of interest close Friday 19 June. The first meeting will be held at 7pm on Tuesday 7 July.
To find out more or submit your expression of interest, email Surfing New Zealand at board@surfingnz.co.nz.
