Board nominations
The Board consists of a minimum of 5 and a maximum of 10 members who are elected for three (3) year terms. Membership of the board shall include:
- 5 – 6 medical practitioners, of whom at least 2 must be office bearers, and, where possible, one will be the representative for New Zealand, and one may include a medical doctor in training.
- Up to 5 non-medical Board members nominated at the discretion of the Board and deemed to be full members whilst sitting in a Board position, each of whom shall be elected at the annual general meeting of the association for a term of 3 years. Whenever possible, one of these non-medical members will be a non-doctor health practitioner and another will be a community representative.
- Nominees are required to have been full members of AIMA for one year before being able to nominate.
- Executive positions are appointed by the Board following the election.
Positions which are becoming vacant this year include:
- Five doctor positions
- one doctor in training position
- One community representative position (ideally with skills in community/membership management and growth)
- One non-doctor board member with a focus on financial management
- One non-doctor board member with a focus on health coaching
While it would be wonderful to have candidates with board governance experience or training the attributes that would be of service are:
- Commitment to integrative medicine and the community that we serve
- Willingness to give some time and skills to bringing IM into the mainstream
- Ability to work collaboratively within a team
- Creativity with courage and enthusiasm to utilise your talents for new endeavors
- Capacity for leadership
- Legal or business experience

What’s in it for you?
- Being part of a rich community of committed and talented board members
- Growing skills in board governance and leadership
- Serving and growing your IM community
- Discovering talents and strengths that support the community of directors and the broader IM community
Nominations for positions are now open. Nominations must be on the attached nomination form, you must be a current member of AIMA, and have held this membership for at least one year, and have the nomination form signed by a second current member of AIMA.
