Transport Minister Gerry Brownlee
announced the appointment of
Russell Watson, Maxine MoanaTuwhangai and Belinda Vernon to the
Maritime New Zealand board, and
the appointment of Howard Broad
as a Commissioner of the Transport
Accident Investigation Commission.
"The calibre of the appointees' skills
and experience means their respective
Russell
organisations will be well served over
Watson
the next few years," Brownlee says.
Watson and Moana-Tuwhangai began their terms on February
28, while Vernon begins her term on May 1.

roles at Tainui Group Holdings and
Environment Waikato.
Vernon is from Auckland and has extensive experience in the
shipping industry as an accountant and
senior manager, she has also acted as
company secretary in a number of her
previous positions.
"I would like to acknowledge the
work of outgoing Maritime New
Zealand board members Michael
Ludbrook and David Morgan whose
terms ended in October last year but
Maxine
agreed to continue on the board until
Moana-Tuwhangai
new appointments could be made, and
Kenneth Gilligan whose term expires
on April 30, 2013," Brownlee said.
"These three board members served during a period in which
important decisions were made about the future direction of
Maritime New Zealand and in which the organisation faced a
number of significant challenges."
Broad begans his term as a Commissioner of the Transport
Accident Investigation Commission on March 1. Broad has more
than 35 years experience in the New Zealand Police force and
was Commissioner of the New Zealand Police from 2006 to 2011.

Commission, who passed away in July 2012.
