**About the role | Mo te tunga**

Nga Kaihautu Tikanga Taiao (Nga Kaihautu) is established as a Committee under the EPA Act to provide advice and assistance to the EPA so that it can take into account Maori perspectives across all policies, processes and decisions. Members are appointed by the EPA Board. In the spirit of partnership, the Board and Nga Kaihautu meet regularly to discuss all matters relating to the EPA. This enables the Committee's advice to be considered by the Board in all governance decisions.

The EPA is currently looking for new committee members who have demonstrated skills in understanding complexity working at a governance level, and at weaving together te ao Maori, science, tikanga and the law. Being a committee member is undoubtably rewarding and we can guarantee you will see first-hand how your important mahi will contribute to helping protect the environment now and for future generations to come.

**About you | Mohou ake**

The power of the committee is in the diversity of thought that each committee member brings. The committee is composed of members who, between them, hold a broad range of in-depth skills - if you have some/all of the skills below, we would love to hear from you:

- Proven governance knowledge and experience
- Strategic thinking
- A deep understanding of te ao, tikanga and matauranga Maori
- Experience working in the public sector
