Anna Robertsone-News

We are now calling for expressions of interest (EOI) to join our competitive code technical committees (TCs). These committees play a vital role in shaping the growth and development of each code, providing technical advice, guidance, leadership, and support in collaboration with Gymnastics NZ.

The Technical Committee Appointments Panel will be appointing for the following roles currently up for rotation:

  • chairperson
  • performance advisor
  • judging advisor.

Several current advisors are also stepping down, leaving vacancies across the codes:

  • WAG – performance advisor
  • TRA – judging advisor
  • RG – chair, performance advisor
  • AER – chair, coaching advisor, judging advisor

Please note: the chair, performance advisor, and judging advisor roles are open to all affiliated members, regardless of current vacancies.

EOIs close 30 September 2025.
