We are now looking for a capable CEO to head the Chamber and be a credible ambassador for the regions business community. The CEO will be responsible for a small team and will be well supported with an active Board providing experience and governance. A critical focus for this member centric role will be to increase the profile of the Chamber as a key support agency for the Regional Development Strategy and as the spokesperson for key internal and external stakeholders which include local body council, policy makers as well as regional, national and international strategic partnerships and alliances.

Additional key deliverables will include:

Providing business thought leadership to develop the strategic direction of the Chamber and inspire membership growth.
Developing value add member services and raising the capability of the business sector in Southland.
