Administration

Our office is in Wellington where close working relationships with relevant government departments are maintained.
- A Board of Management oversees NZFGC’s activities.
- Specific issues are addressed by our working groups that consist of representatives nominated by member companies. Those working groups are: Health & Regulatory, Industry Relations, Supply Chain, Sustainability, Talent & Diversity. From time to time, special interest working groups are established to address specific topics.
- The Chief Executive oversees the day-to-day administration of NZFGC.
- NZFGC’s activities are conveyed to members in regular newsletters and circulars.
Members meet formally twice each year at:
- The May Member Meeting and AGM are held in Auckland in May.
