Governance Group

The Governance Group ensures our work remains on track to deliver positive outcomes for the primary sector.

The Governance Group sets the NZAGRC’s strategic direction and priorities, develops policies and expectations for management, identifies and manages risks, and monitors and evaluates the performance of the organisation. The Group meets up to six times a year and receives advice from Toihau and the Science Programme and Stakeholder Advisory Groups, as well as input from periodic science reviews undertaken by independent technical experts.

Membership

The Governance Group is made up of individuals with the knowledge, skills, experience and diversity needed to ensure NZAGRC is well-managed and performs effectively.
