Nominations are open for Soil & Health’s National Council

The Soil & Health Association of New Zealand is calling for nominations to the National Council, its governing body, and for any remits from members. For a thriving organisation we need keen and energetic people to be part of the team steering our Association.

National Council members lead projects including advocacy, events, publishing, research, outreach and participation.

The National Council usually consists of seven members, each elected for a two-year term. The current members are Charles Hyland (chair), David McNeill (treasurer), Rebecka Keeling, Leane Makey and Richard Wallis. Rebecka Keeling’s two-year term is up for renewal at the AGM. Leane Makey has indicated she will step down at the AGM. The other three councillors are halfway through their two-year terms.

  • Nominations and any remits from members must be received in writing to manager@organicnz.org.nz by 14 JULY 2025.
  • Nominations must be accompanied by a photo of the nominee, a short biography and your aspirations for Soil & Health (150 words maximum).
  • Nominations must include the names, email addresses and phone numbers of the nominator and seconder, who must be members of Soil & Health.
  • Nominee details will be published on the website and emailed to members.

Soil & Health’s 2025 AGM

The AGM will be held online on Saturday 23 August. Further information will be issued, including the agenda, reports, voting and registration details.
