Executive Committee
Executive Committee |
|---|
| The committee is a select group of people who provide strategic direction and represent a wide spectrum of category importers, manufacturers and distributors, covering a diverse geographic base. Not only qualified through their length of time and experience in the industry but also a passion for their chosen sectors. The profiles for each of the committee members provide a brief acknowledgement of their first-hand experience in the industry, understanding of the trials during the early days and progressive journey of learning and adaption of their business models. It is from these experiences that the committee can relate to the daily challenges NZGTA members face, regardless of the business size, so are well placed to assist in identifying improvements, trends, techniques and methods of sustainability to ensure longevity for the Gift Fair industry. The committee is also fortunate to have the founding members available to provide guidance and instil their knowledge where required. As a group, the committee discusses and reviews current issues and also share their knowledge toward achieving best practice for the industry. The committee prudently manages membership funds, allocating spend to subsidise networking evenings, car parking, visitor incentives at NZ Gift Fairs. In brief, an overview of the topics discussed and reviewed by the committee are:
