A Northland trust is looking for a general manager to lead the organisation, and the region, in a job that's been 250 years in the making.
Next year will be the 250th anniversary of the arrival of Captain James Cook and his Polynesian navigator Tupaia in New Zealand waters. The Bay of Islands will be one of four key landing sites that will host events as part of the Tuia – Encounters 250 commemoration programme.
The Te Au Marie 1769 Trust has been established to commemorate, celebrate and share the diverse histories of voyaging and encounters in Tai Tokerau. The trust is looking for a general manager to develop and lead the Northland programme of events and projects.
Trust co-chair Jane Hindle said it's a truly unique and exciting project to be a part of.
"We are recognising and celebrating our dual heritage and the journeys that have brought us all here," she said.
