2026 BOARD ELECTION
We are pleased to share that we received more nominations than there are available Board positions, meaning an election will be held to determine the successful candidates.
Voting is now open and closes Friday 23 October at 5.00 pm.
We have engaged electionz.com, an independent election management company, to manage the 2026 Board election. The key representative from each eligible financial member organisation will receive an email from electionz.com with instructions on how to cast their vote.
Please note there is one vote eligible per member organisation.
View the Board candidates and learn more about those standing for election here.
The results of the election will be announced at the Waikato Chamber of Commerce Annual General Meeting on Wednesday 28 October. Register to attend here.
