Structure
Archery NZ is a volunteer-run organisation. The Board governs the organisation and is supported by a small office team, by subcommittees that organise and run our primary functions, and by the Clubs Council. Each subcommittee works to Terms of Reference approved by the Board, linked in its entry below. The Constitution, Strategic Plan, AGM reports and Board minutes are further down this page.

Clubs Council
The Clubs Council is a club-led advisory body providing two-way communication between affiliated clubs and the Board. It replaces the former Club Support subcommittee.
- Each affiliated club may appoint one representative, being the club President or a nominated delegate. Representatives are appointed by their club, not by the Board.
- The Council elects a Chair and Deputy Chair from among its members, with the Chair rotating every 12 to 24 months.
- It meets six times a year, online and in person.
- It is advisory and holds no delegated decision-making authority. All governance and strategic authority remains with the Board.
- Minutes are circulated to Council members and provided to the Board after each meeting. The Council provides an annual summary of key themes to the AGM.
The Board has approved the Clubs Council Terms of Reference. The Council is being established and has not yet held its first meeting.

The Strategic Plan is a “Living Document”. A living document is a dynamic document that is continually edited and updated. It may evolve through successive updates and be expanded as needed as the needs of Archery NZ evolve and change.
Greater planning and direction is required to enable everyone to participate and to contribute to the cause of improving the sport of archery in New Zealand.
The Strategic Plan is used as the base to market archery as an attractive, enjoyable sport at all levels for people of all abilities. The success in all of these aspects will depend on the willingness of each member to contribute and to recruit others to support archery in New Zealand.
