Dear John
Official information request relating to other benefits received by
Board members
I refer to the part six of your official information request that was transferred to Education
New Zealand Manapou ki te Ao (ENZ) by the Ministry of Education on 26 May 2026. Part six
was:
Besides meeting fees, do they [Board members] receive any other benefits, such as
expense reimbursement (If so, may I request to view your expense reimbursement
policy in relation to your board member), a laptop, ID card, phone, or similar
provisions?
Board members can receive expense reimbursements under ENZ’s Travel Policy (attached
as Annex A) and can seek support for professional development under ENZ’s Board
Professional Development Policy (attached as Annex B).
ENZ Board members do not receive any other benefits.
Please note that it is our policy to proactively release our responses to official information
requests where possible. Our response to your request wil be published shortly at
https://www.enz.govt.nz/about-enz/official-information-act-requests, with your personal
information removed.
Yours sincerely,
Di Solomon
Director Government Relations & Communications
