When appointing people to a local advisory committee, the board thinks about what skills and knowledge are needed for Fire and Emergency New Zealand's main jobs, as stated in sections 11 and 12. You need to consider what the local community needs and who can represent them. The board also thinks about having different perspectives on the committee and what industry brigades in the area want.
