Trustee Vacancies

TRUSTEE VACANCIES (3)

Position Description

The Hawke’s Bay Digital Archives Trust is a not-for-profit charitable trust established in 2011 to operate Knowledge Bank Hawke’s Bay, based in the historic Stoneycroft homestead in Hastings. The Knowledge Bank is a digital record of Hawke’s Bay and its people which continues to grow as residents, businesses and community organisations donate historic material to be digitised and uploaded to a public website, thus preserving history for future generations.

The Trust is seeking three trustees from the Hawke’s Bay region to bring the total number of trustees to seven. The new trustees will have strong community connections. Prior governance is desirable but not essential. These positions are unpaid.

The Board meets monthly and the time commitment for trustees is a minimum of one day per month.

Applications will remain open until the right candidates are found.
