Welcome to Sharon Cornwall, IPU New Zealand Tertiary Institute.

 | LIANZA Professional Registration Board Chair LIANZA Council also approved an extension of the current chair, Cath Sheard to November 2021. The LIANZA Code of Practice requires that the incoming chair has served a year on the current or previous PR Board. Cath Sheard has served two terms since March 2014 and her term has been extended by one year, so that she can mentor a current member of the board into the role. LIANZA Council thanked Cath for her commitment to professional registration and willingness to stay on for one more year. |
