Creative Tauranga has appointed three new trustees to the trust board.
Edcollective director Thoje Hood, Baycourt manager Megan Peacock-Coyle, Baycourt and Metro Marketing managing director Michelle Whitmore were selected by a Governance Appointment Panel earlier this month.

‘We are thrilled with the high calibre of applications we received for the trustee positions,” says Creative Tauranga interim-chair Marcus Wilkins.
The new trustees join Marcus Wilkins, Dean Wearne and Awhina Thatcher on the trust board.
The trustees held their first meeting Monday and Marcus Wilkins was elected chair and Dean Wearne treasurer.
"Our first job is to hold a strategic planning workshop in June," says Marcus.
"Once a strategic plan framework has been developed, we will be looking to recruit a new General Manager later in June."
The new trustees all agreed they are looking forward to helping to make Tauranga and the WBOP a vibrant, unique region.

so it continues lets have more meetings to see how we can suck more money out of the rate payers.Why would you wait to appoint a General Manager after you set your strategic plan wouldn,t it be better to have him or her involved in the process as there job will be to put into practice.PS don,t put a museum at the head of your list as TCC has no money judging by the way the Annual Plan allocation is going.

As usual this lot are in fairy land, about time TCC helped them out and cut of the meaningless, overspend money supply from ratepayers.

I hope the new board appoints a fresh and talented face to head cretative tauranga. I nearly fell off my artistic chair when I read the salary of the so-called CEO could be about $90k. There are too many nebulous groups hooked onto ratepayer funding in Tauranga and ideally council should have supported the arts directly rather than through a bureaucracy.
