2021 HRNZ Board election appointments

Bill McDonald has been elected to the board of Harness Racing New Zealand.

As outlined previously in Circular 2111, following the close of nominations for the one vacancy available for election by totalisator clubs* and kindred bodies, two nominations were received. (*As the Auckland Trotting Club and NZ Metropolitan Trotting Club have direct appointments to the Board,they are not entitled  to nominate or vote for these positions). Therefore an election was required.

Following are the results of that election:

 Bill McDonald 69 votes                    Ken Spicer 32 votes

The Independent Appointment Committee (comprising a representative from TAB NZ, a representativewith expertise in governance recruitment and a HRNZ Board representative) has now completed its recruitment and selection process for the two Independent Director vacancies. The Committee has appointed Phil Holden (3 year term through to the conclusion of the 2024 AGM) and Todd Anderson (12 month term through to the conclusion of the 2022 AGM – the remainder of the term left vacant by Victoria McCrea’s resignation).
