Board Members
The management of the business and affairs of the New Zealand Racing Board takes place under the direction of its governing body, the Board. The seven-member board contains a representative from each of the three codes (greyhound, thoroughbred and harness racing) as well as three independent appointed Board members and the Board Chairman. The Board delegates certain responsibilities to the Chief Executive (Bill Colgan, currently interim CEO) and to committees of the Board.
Current members are Michael Stiassny (independent chairperson), Ray O'Connor (harness racing nominee), Alistair Sutherland (thoroughbred racing nominee), Thayne Green (greyhound racing nominee), Julie Crengle (independent member), Liz Dawson (independent member) and Warren Bell (independent member).

Famous quotes containing the words board and/or members:
“What happens in a strike happens not to one person alone.... It is a crisis with meaning and potency for all and prophetic of a future. The elements in crisis are the same, there is a fermentation that is identical. The elements are these: a body of men, women and children, hungry; an organization of feudal employers out to break the back of unionization; and the government Labor Board sent to “negotiate” between this hunger and this greed.”
—Meridel Le Sueur (b. 1900)
“It took six weeks of debate in the Senate to get the Arms Embargo Law repealed—and we face other delays during the present session because most of the Members of the Congress are thinking in terms of next Autumn’s election. However, that is one of the prices that we who live in democracies have to pay. It is, however, worth paying, if all of us can avoid the type of government under which the unfortunate population of Germany and Russia must exist.”
—Franklin D. Roosevelt (1882–1945)
