Special Interest Sections are Institute-wide groups that bring together members with a shared area of interest. These groups work towards improving environmental practice through information sharing, the development of guidance documents, seminars, workshops, and other activities. Special Interest Sections generally focus on emerging opportunities or issues that require a dedicated focus over a period of time rather than ongoing committee business.

By-law 15 of the Institute states that the appointment of a Special Interest Section Chair is for a term of two years and is done in an “open and transparent process that engages the members of the Institute”.

In accordance with this, we are inviting expressions of interest from EIANZ Members and CEnvPs for the position of Chair in each of our five Special Interest Sections:

• Climate change
• Contaminated land
• Ecology
• Heritage
• Impact assessment

To submit an expression of interest, you will need to complete a form (available via the button below), provide your CV, and a brief statement that outlines the skills and experience you can bring to the role. You are welcome to submit an expression of interest for more than one of our Special Interest Section groups.

Expressions of interest close Friday 19 March 2021.
