NZEI Organisational Review

There is a movement for change in our union.  It’s about ensuring people have the opportunity to participate and become more involved at all levels. It’s about making sure we plan and resource our activities and that we’re accountable for them. 
The National Executive has agreed to put forward four change proposals to Annual Meeting. These are:

1. Greater accountability: linking funding more directly to activity plans
2. How we come together: changing from an Annual Meeting for the whole of the union, to one every two years for the whole of the union, with Regional Meetings in the intervening years.
3. How we operate at local levels: changing the focus of District Councils and establishing Area Councils.
4. How we govern ourselves: changing the size and composition of the National Executive.
