About This Data

Board change data is derived from iwi officer records extracted from publicly available annual reports. Departure dates reflect the resignation or term-end dates recorded in those reports. Role categories are classified algorithmically based on role titles. Not all iwi disclose appointment or departure dates — the absence of records does not indicate governance issues.

Data sourced from Iwi annual reports and governance records. Our datasets may not be complete. Automated analysis can produce errors. If you believe any data on this page is incorrect, please contact us at hello@nzxplorer.co.nz.
