Principles
HITO needs a constitution to set out legally who we are and what we do. Our constitution needs to cover HITO’s present responsibilities and allow us to develop in the future. The constitution needs to clearly set out the legal basis for our training and skill development roles in the hairdressing, barbering, beauty and related areas.
This paper summarises the guiding principles and recommendations developed by the HITO working group on the new proposed constitution. It also summarises feedback received from workshops with members.
We held workshops throughout New Zealand in October and early November 2011 to consult with members on the guiding principles and on some of the implications of the proposed changes. We asked about:
- Consequential changes for NZARH’s constitution
- Fees paid to NZARH, and the current contribution to HITO by members of NZARH
- How we will manage the changes to board membership and elections
- Membership fees for 2012 and beyond.
