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)
“The members of a body-politic call it “the state” when it is passive, “the sovereign” when it is active, and a “power” when they compare it with others of its kind. Collectively they use the title “people,” and they refer to one another individually as “citizens” when speaking of their participation in the authority of the sovereign, and as “subjects” when speaking of their subordination to the laws of the state.”
—Jean-Jacques Rousseau (1712–1778)
