Introduction

IPENZ is governed by a Board consisting of a President, Deputy President, Vice-President, immediate Past-President and eight other Board members. Services to members are delivered by a number of mechanisms. All members resident in New Zealand are automatically a member of a geographic Branch which provide programmes of activities and services in their local region. Members overseas and in the United Kingdom have a Branch based in London. Members may then select to join one or more Technical Groups which provide on a national basis programmes of activities and services associated with a particular engineering specialty or discipline. They may also choose to join a Special Interest Group which also operates on a national basis, providing services of interest to a particular cross-section of the membership. IPENZ also operates collaboratively with kindred bodies, both within New Zealand and overseas where agreements create benefit to the members of both organisations.

IPENZ has one Office from which many services are delivered - National Office is located in central Wellington.

Key people in the organisation, and associated delivery mechanisms include the Board and staff, plus the office-bearers of each of the Branches, Technical Groups and Special Interest Groups. There are also others who serve on a variety of specialist panels and committees.
