Nominations invited for Horowhenua Creative Communities Committee

The Horowhenua Creative Communities Committee is seeking nominations for new members.

The committee meets at least twice each year to consider and decide on funding applications lodged under the Horowhenua Creative Communities Grant Scheme, funded by Creative New Zealand.

Members include Horowhenua District Councillors, as well as community representatives from performing arts, fine arts, music and cultural arts backgrounds.

Three members of the existing committee have recently retired by rotation, but all are eligible to seek reappointment alongside public nominations.

Committee members serve for a fixed period of up to three years and may serve for only two consecutive periods.

Nomination forms are available from Horowhenua District Council's website www.horowhenua.govt.nz and copies are available from the Council office in Levin at 126 Oxford Street, Levin.

The nomination period remains open until 5.00pm Friday 27 January 2017.
