A message from Paul Pavletich – President of Motorcycling New Zealand.
Hello fellow motorcyclists and MNZ members. The time has come to renew a number of volunteer leadership roles within MNZ. These are all very important positions to fill, and for us to function successfully. I am asking you to consider applying and gifting your time to grow and oversee motorcycling in New Zealand.
Some of our Board members have completed their term and, very much appreciated service, within MNZ and its time to carry on their good work, inject some new enthusiasm and create a brighter future, as we start to come out of what I’m going to call ”a motorcycle racing recession”.
As the President of MNZ, I value people in Board positions who can see the big picture and think strategically. It’s important to note that the Commissioners run the different disciplines, with close communication with our GM Mike Kerrisk.
Mike and the highly skilled Huntly team, Jannine and Marie-Anne, are doing an excellent job, working, and communicating with clubs and officials.
A number of Commissioners roles are due as well. To be successful in these roles you need sound knowledge of the discipline and spare time to focus on planning and event management. A smaller Commission we would envisage 3 to 5 hours work a week. The larger Commissions like MX or Road Racing we envisage 7 to 10 hours a week. Each of the larger Commission have working teams to support the role, which I believe is critical for success. Obviously, the premier events you will be overseeing will need particular attention to detail.
