One of those opportunities will be at New Zealand Wine 2026, being held on 27 Auckland in Pōneke Wellington. For more information go to nzwine.com/events 'New Zealand Wine 2026'. We need people who can look beyond individual businesses, think strategically, ask challenging questions and contribute to decisions that benefit the wider New Zealand wine community. However, given the complexity of the role, members with governance experience, or who are prepared to develop their governance skills, are encouraged to stand. These committees play an important role in shaping our work and provide valuable opportunities for members to contribute their expertise and perspectives.
