Nominations for Life Membership 2023
Every year at our Annual Conference, we award Life Memberships to candidates who have been nominated by their peers for outstanding contributions to the Industry.
As we approach the date of our Annual Conference, we would like to remind you of the criteria that applies so that you can start considering whether you have a worthy candidate in mind for nomination for 2023.
To be eligible for Life Membership a person must have shown outstanding service to RITANZ or to the insolvency profession and meet the general criteria for membership to RITANZ. To assist members in considering nominations for this role, the Board has considered factors which it will take into account when determining whether a nominee has shown outstanding service to RITANZ or to the insolvency profession.
Those factors include: whether a nominee is a past or present member of RITANZ; where a nominee is a non-member, any exceptional circumstances which evidence the nominee’s outstanding contribution to the industry; the level of seniority or experience the nominee has achieved in their career; and their significant contribution to RITANZ or the industry in a senior role.
Each nomination for Life Membership needs to be proposed by a minimum of two RITANZ members and provided to the Board in writing by the 7th April 2023. The nomination should explain why the nominee should be a Life Member, taking into account the factors above and any other information the nominators consider relevant.
Once all nominations are received, the Membership Sub Committee will review the candidates taking into account the above factors and RITANZ’s general admission criteria and will then provide a recommendation to the RITANZ Board.
The Board will then invite the chosen candidate to accept the admission and the invitation to become a RITANZ Life Member.
To submit your nominations please send the required information to admin@ritanz.org.nz

RITANZ Annual Conference 2022 Feedback
We are delighted to confirm that our 20th Annual Conference at Eden Park for 2022 has come and gone.
From members feedback so far it appears that the Eden Park venue was well received and that the event was thoroughly enjoyed. We would like to take this opportunity to thank all of our attendees, sponsors, outstanding presenters, Conference Committee members and everyone that was involved with this for the extraordinary amount of work, dedication and time that went into the delivery of this premier event.
In particular RITANZ would like to thank our Platinum Sponsor Turners, our Conference Sponsors KPMG, MinterEllisonRuddWatts, TWA Legal, Russell McVeagh and Buddle Findlay for their continued support of RITANZ and the industry that we represent.
A huge thanks also to our Conference Chair Paul Heath, KC of Bankside Chambers for his tireless commitment to RITANZ – in fact, this year was Paul’s 19th year as the Conference Chair, which is an outstanding contribution to the industry!
We would also like to thank our outgoing Chair John Fisk, for all the work that he has done over the past 5 years and for steering RITANZ through significant change and growth. Thanks to Kare Johnstone, the incoming RITANZ Chair, and INSOL Board Member, for taking over the reins from John and for the leadership that she has shared with us so far.
Once again the Workshop presenters and Chair were flawless in their presentation of the pre-conference session and the time and effort that clearly went into these sessions is hugely appreciated and invaluable to the attendees, at all experience levels.
A shout out too to the incredibly talented Sober Assessments for their performance at the TWA Legal sponsored Networking Drinks on Thursday evening before the Gala dinner.
