26 June 2025
Expression of Interest: Head Director
Background
In May 2025, the Board of New Zealand Bridge made the strategic decision to disestablish the Chief Director role and redistribute its functions across a suite of specialised committees. This decision aimed to reduce dependency on a single individual, balance workloads, respond to the call from Clubs and Players, and a singular focus on supporting directors.
We indicated when making the announcement that we were looking to appoint a head director. At the time we thought the notice would trigger expressions of interest. To formalise arrangements, we are now seeking expressions of interest.
