Illustration for Taratahi Agricultural Training Centre (Wairarapa) Act 1969

You can be removed from the trust board if you cannot do your job, go bankrupt, do not do your work, or behave badly. The Minister decides if you should be removed. You can also resign by writing to the Minister. If a member of the trust board dies, resigns, or is removed, the empty position is filled the same way it was first filled. The new person does the job for the rest of the time the old person was supposed to be there. This is according to the rules of the Taratahi Agricultural Training Centre (Wairarapa) Act 1969. The trust board can still make decisions even if there is an empty position.
