The Fire and Emergency New Zealand Board is looking for members to join its new Auckland Local Advisory Committee (LAC).
LACs ensure communities’ voices and interests are heard and considered in national and local planning.
LACs also provide local advice to help better support their community to reduce risk, prepare for and respond to emergencies, and recover quickly when they happen.
Fire and Emergency Te Hiku Region manager Ron Devlin says the committees are made up of well-connected local people who are passionate about supporting their communities both now and into the future.
“It is vital to the success of our LAC that we have the right blend of people to give voice to the varied ethnic and cultural communities, businesses, commercial, industrial and social sectors,” Devlin says.
“We are looking for members with governance and leadership experience, and emerging leaders, in these various communities and sectors.”
Applications for membership close on October 23.
