Criteria for Applicants
We are looking for a cross-section of the community to ensure diversity of people and viewpoints.
A selection panel will appoint the six community members. Membership will be considered based on:
- their interest and knowledge of disability issues, advocacy, and Te Tiriti o Waitangi,
- either living in, or being able to demonstrate a close connection with the Masterton District,
- showing a specific interest and commitment to the future of the Masterton District.
The candidates will be chosen based on the criteria above and selectors will be looking for diversity of members (e.g. age, gender, background, rural/urban community).
The time commitment will involve attending at least four meetings a year (2-4 hours) and meeting preparation (reading time for reports and other material provided prior to meetings). Further input may be requested through additional meetings, emails or surveys. Once the Disability Advisory Group is selected, the meeting times will be set with consideration of times that are as convenient as possible for Advisory Group members.
