NZPF Electronic Ballot

This morning all financial members of NZPF, will have received an invitation from electionz.com to vote on a Notice of Motion.

If supported by two thirds of eligible voters, it will allow for one of the 12 NZPF National Executive members to be a Māori principal, endorsed by Te Akatea Māori Principals’ Association. This change would take effect at the next Executive election in 2021.

The NZPF Executive unanimously endorsed the proposed motion which is entirely consistent with our own goals and principles and gives effect to our obligations under Te Tiriti o Waitangi.

We have chosen the option of electronic ballot, to allow as many of you as possible to participate.

As you are aware, we are not holding our Trans-Tasman conference this year due to COVID, and attendance at our AGM in September is therefore likely to be substantially impacted.

Normally, this motion would be voted on at our AGM, however our constitution also allows for electronic ballot.

I encourage all of you to respond to the motion to give us a clear result.
