Amplify is the Economic Development Agency for the Taupo district, and is charged with growing the local economy.
Amplify is an independent charitable trust and is governed by a Board of seven trustees. There
are currently up to two vacancies and an Appointment Panel has been formed to undertake the recruitment process.
Amplify invites applications from suitably qualified and experienced individuals. Using a skills and competencies matrix, Amplify has identified the ideal mix of strengths, experience and attributes we are seeking in the appointment round, namely:
● Strong commercial and financial experience with relevant business experience as an owner or Senior Leader
● The Board has a commitment to be representative of the Taupo community, and therefore
we aspire to have representation from both genders from different age brackets and include
a mix of ethnic groups, including Maori.
● Governance experience, including strong analytical, critical reasoning and problem-solving
skills, strong communication and stakeholder engagement skills and experience in the
local government and / or not for profit sector
● At this time we are looking for people who have a mix of an understanding of the critical
elements of Regional Economic Development and a willingness to research economic
development best practice internationally, a strategic thinking background and a strong
understanding of the primary sector.
● As per the Trustee Recruitment Policy, it is intended to recruit one Trustee who is based
in the Southern Lakes region at this time.
Trustees share responsibility with the Chair and other Trustees for the governance of the
organisation and the conduct of Board affairs in accordance with the Trust Deed and Code of
Conduct.
The capacity to commit a reasonable amount of time and energy is assumed to be a given for people looking to secure a place on the Amplify Board, with Trustees receiving a modest stipend per month.
