ICOMOS Aotearoa New Zealand: Our Structure
ICOMOS Aotearoa New Zealand is managed by a Board comprising up to 18 members plus a chairperson. Board members are elected every year by the ICOMOS Aotearoa New Zealand membership.
The Board meets four times per year and is responsible for:
- the day to day operations of the Society
- the preparation and execution of the Society’s programme of activities
- the collection and transfer to ICOMOS of membership dues
- the recruitment of members
- promoting and achieving the aims and objects of the Society.
Our structure, outlined below, allows the Board to focus on more strategic matters, leaving operational work to Committees and Working Groups, via agreed Terms of Reference and optional three year Action Plans and Annual Work Programmes.
Committees
ICOMOS Aotearoa New Zealand has six standing Committees that report to the Board. Committees are established to undertake the core, perennial functions of the Board.
Working groups
Working Groups are either established by the Board as necessary to progress its work, or by Committees as necessary to progress their agreed work programme.
International Scientific Committees
ICOMOS has a number of International Scientific Committees (ISCs). ICOMOS Aotearoa New Zealand has authorised representatives on several ISCs (listed here).
National Scientific Committees
ICOMOS Aotearoa New Zealand is obliged to encourage the establishment of National Scientific Committees (NSCs) to operate in the same fields as ISCs. ICOMOS Aotearoa New Zealand has one NSC on Energy and Sustainability.
Interest groups
Where there is more than one ICOMOS Aotearoa New Zealand representative on an ISC, or a number of members express interest in an ISC’s work, then an Interest Group may be established. These are more informal than NSCs. There are no existing Interest Groups.
