Join the Pacific Cooperation Foundation Board – Be Part of Our Journey

23 Sept

The Pacific Cooperation Foundation (PCF) is seeking applications from interested people to join our Board of Trustees and help guide the next stage of our journey.

We are an independent, Pacific-led charitable trust that exists to strengthen identity, deepen relationships, and amplify Pacific voices across Aotearoa New Zealand and the Pacific region. Through our programmes in internships, alumni engagement, research, and regional partnerships, we create platforms for Pacific expertise and storytelling to thrive.

With a refreshed strategy and a stronger focus on Pacific values — mana, vā, talanoa, and alofa — PCF is looking for visionary leaders to serve on our Board.

What We’re Looking For

We welcome expressions of interest from people who bring:

Governance experience and a commitment to good stewardship.
Pacific lived experience and cultural grounding.
Expertise in areas such as:
- Finance, investment, and business leadership
- Trade and economic development
- Arts, culture, and creative industries
- Climate resilience and sustainable development
- Youth empowerment and education
- International relations and diplomacy

We are especially keen to hear from those who can help us build capacity in finance, private sector engagement, creative industries, and youth leadership to complement our current Board strengths.

Why Join PCF?

Becoming a Trustee of PCF means:

Helping shape Aotearoa New Zealand’s role as a Pacific nation.
Influencing initiatives that deliver real and lasting impact for Pacific peoples.
Being part of a network of leaders, innovators, and changemakers across the Pacific.
Contributing to an organisation grounded in Pacific values and connected to the Blue Pacific 2050 Strategy.
