The Diocese of Dunedin has a variety of community services (including aged care facilities) and educational facilities who are governed by different Boards of Trustees, Governors and Proprietors. Board members are appointed on a two to three year term, with many people providing wonderful support to our Diocese by serving on these over the years.

The Trusts Board (a sub-board of the Diocesan Council) regularly reviews who is on these boards, looking at vacancies and what skills are needed in each to provide effective governance. This process is carried out according Statutes 38 and 17 as well as Statutes that relate to specific bodies such as Selwyn and St Hilda's (see Statutes area).

We are currently carrying out a stock take with all Boards to identify what vacancies are coming up in the future and are looking to advertise more widely to encourage people to look at serving Christ in this way. Attached below is the application form that must be sent to the Diocese of Dunedin Trusts Board via the Registrar: registrar@calledsouth.org.nz . Also, any person serving on a board of committee must complete the declaration from attached below. [This is required to fufill requirements of the Charities Act 2005 and Title F, Canon VIII of the Canons of the Anglican Church in Aotearoa, New Zealand and Polynesia and Statute 38 of the Dunedin Diocesan Statutes]
