GOVERNANCE

As established by the Trust Deed, the Education Sponsorship Trust is governed by a Board of between six and 12 members. EST currently has 12 Trustees that constitute the governance board, including two executive officer positions: Chairman and secretary. Trustees/Board members may form sub-committees as determined by the board when necessary for our activities.

Responsibility for EST ultimately lies with the Board of Directors. The Board comprises a cross-section of New Zealanders, and Australians: men, women, educationalists, business consultants and professionals operating in the NGO sector.
