National gears up for election
National
Party President, Michelle Boag, today announced the
appointment of Tina Symmans, as Director of Communications
for the Election Campaign.
"Since assuming the role of
President, I have been determined to attract highly talented
people to the Party.
"Tina Symmans has a background in
corporate communications and extensive experience in
politics. Tina's career has spanned advertising, marketing,
and government lobbying and she has earned the reputation
for managing complex, strategic and, at times, high profile
corporate issues," Ms Boag said in Wellington.
The full
time role of Communications Director will be based at
National Party Headquarters and Tina will take up her
position next week after completing a move from
Auckland.
"The ability for the Leader's Office and the
Party to work as seamless team is one of the critical
factors in running a successful campaign. The combined
talents and skills of the team we now have in the Leader's
Office and the Party I believe will be formidable," said Ms
Boag.
