44G: Term of office of members of Board

You could also call this:

"How long you can be on the Game Bird Habitat Trust Board"

When you are a member of the New Zealand Game Bird Habitat Trust Board, you hold office for 3 years. You can be removed from office by the Minister if you go bankrupt, cannot do your job, neglect your duties, or behave badly. If you want to leave the Board, you can resign by writing to the Minister.

If a member of the Board dies, resigns, or is removed, the empty position is filled in the same way it was originally, and the new person does the job for the rest of the term. You stay in office until someone new starts, even if your 3-year term has ended.

You can be removed from office for reasons such as bankruptcy, inability to perform your job, neglect of duty, or misconduct, as decided by the Minister, and the Human Rights Amendment Act 2001 has rules about this.
