Associate Transport Minister James Meager has confirmed two new appointments to the board of Maritime New Zealand, including a new Chair and Deputy Chair.<\/p>\n
Kevin Short has been elevated to the Chair\u2019s role, starting from 1 July 2026. He has held the Deputy Chair role since April 2025.<\/p>\n
\u201cMr Short has already made a strong contribution to the Board and developed a thorough understanding of Maritime NZ\u2019s role, functions and strategic direction. I\u2019m confident he will bring the experience, judgement and continuity needed as Chair,\u201d Mr Meager says.<\/p>\n
Charles Finny and Belinda Clark will join as new members in late May and June respectively. Mr Finny has been appointed Deputy Chair from 1 July 2026. <\/p>\n
\u201cMr Finny is an experienced governor with strong board and public-sector experience as well as a deep understanding of regulatory and maritime settings. He also has trade and export expertise through his advisory work and has developed strong connections with port chief executives,\u201d Mr Meager says.<\/p>\n
\u201cI also welcome the valuable expertise that Ms Clark brings from her governance roles on other boards and previous Chief Executive roles. She has extensive capability in organisational and delivery governance, including audit and risk management through former leadership roles for major public-sector agencies in New Zealand and Australia. <\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019d also like to acknowledge the work and commitment of Dame Jo Brosnahan who has served as Chair since December 2018 and led the Board through a challenging period of significant disruption and change.<\/p>\n
\u201cWith her term concluding on 30 June 2026, I thank Dame Jo for her years of devoted service, and I wish her well for her future endeavours.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
