Planning Timetable

The IPENZ strategic plan is reviewed by the Board annually. The new Board takes office in March each year (at the time of our Annual General Meeting), and immediately considers the plan.

It engages in a consultative process with various constituencies (e.g. Branches, Technical Groups, Special Interest Groups) at about that time. It works to have the overall strategy (with a five year horizon) updated and operational objectives for the next one to three years developed by July. That allows the budget for the upcoming financial year (commencing 1 October) to be established in line with the operational objectives during July/August. From this flows the setting of subscription rates for the upcoming year.

The new subscriptions and the budget to achieve the operational plan are implemented by the Chief Executive Officer, commencing at the start of the new financial year on 1 October.

Those members wishing to contribute to the planning process can make their inputs to the Chief Executive.
