Permaculture in New Zealand

As of June 2010, the Council of PiNZ consists of

• Sarah Adams (Wellington) - chairperson, project group liaison
• Trish Allen (Matakana) - secretary, bioregional coordinator
• Joc Winters (Nelson) - treasurer
• Bomun Bock-Chung (Turangi) - hui/APC liaison
• Richard Grevers (New Plymouth) - webmaster, membership
• Murray Jones (Whanganui) - public relations

The PiNZ Council meets monthly via skype, with three face-to-face meetings per year. Meetings are open to the membership, although the right is reserved to enter into strict committee should content to be discussed be considered sensitive. If you wish to listen in to or speak to a skype meeting, please notify pinz.admin (at) gmail.com 48 hours prior to the meeting. Include your skype address. If you wish to make a submission or proposal, it would be most helpful to receive a written outline and/or supporting documents 48 hours prior to the meeting (emailed as above).

For face-to-face meetings we will endeavour to hold an open session with a pot-luck dinner on the Saturday evening of the meeting.
