Congratulations cousin, amazing mahi
📣 Jeremy Banks appointed to the Board of the Reserve Bank of NZ 📣
Wakatū Incorporation wishes to congratulate Wakatū Incorporation Director Jeremy Banks (Ngāti Rārua, Rangitāne, Ngāti Kuia) on his recent appointment as Director on the new statutory Board of the Reserve Bank of New Zealand.
As announced by Hon Grant Robertson, Jeremy has been appointed alongside Professor Rawinia Higgins (Ngāi Tūhoe, Ngāi Tahu, Ngāti Ruapani ki Waikaremoana, Ngāti Kahungunu), fellow Wakatū Incorporation whānau member Hinerangi Raumati-Tu’ua (Ngāti Mutunga, Tainui), Byron Pepper, Rodger Findlay and previous Board incumbents Professor Neil Quigley and Susan Paterson.
Members of the Senior Leadership Team and Board attended Jeremy’s pōwhiri last Friday in Te Whanganui a Tara (Wellington).
Jeremy’s background and experience in both the software and Māori governance sectors will be a tremendous asset and offer unique insights to assist with the new Board’s shift to strengthen the bank’s decision making and accountability arrangements. Jeremy also currently serves as a Director on the Wakatū Incorporation Whenua Board and leads our Business Technology Steering Committee.
Ka nui te mihi nui ki a koe e te whanaunga Jeremy 👏👏👏
