Assistant Producer - Contract
Board Members - Nelson Festivals Trust
The Nelson Festivals Trust are looking for an additional board member to help deliver on our refreshed strategy which sets an exciting and solid foundation for the future, as well as to support the team in staging unmissable arts experiences that enrich the people of our region. At the core of this offering is the Nelson Arts Festival, the longest-running annual regional arts festival in Aotearoa, taking place annually in October across Whakatū and Te Tau Ihu.
This is an unpaid, voluntary governance role. Board members are not required to be involved with the operational or delivery aspects of the organisation with a strong General Manager and Team of experts in place – but are required to bring solid governance skills to the table. We meet monthly as a board and also have working groups aligned to our strategy. These working groups meet as required between board meetings.
We’d love to hear from you if you have:
- A passion for the arts
- Governance experience
- An understanding of Tikanga Māori
- Strategic planning skills
- Proven experience in income generation and fundraising strategies in our arts or an aligned sector
- Have strong community connections in the Nelson/Tasman region
We are particularly keen to encourage applications from tāngata whenua and younger members of the community as well as those representing the diversity of cultures who call our region home.
Please contact Ali Boswijk for questions, and to apply please send a CV and covering letter to our GM: ruth.roebuck@nelsonartsfestival.nz
