Wellington Zinefest Board

Mission Statement

The Wellington Zinefest Board exists to support the Wellington Zinefest committee.

 

The Board bring their experience to offer supportive critical feedback on proposed initiatives. This has the value of representing the kaupapa of Wellington Zinefest should the committee be limited in scale, allowing the committee the confidence of knowing if and when initiatives have Board support (e.g. 2021’s publicly contested $5 zine market). The Board does not wish to compromise the autonomy and character of the Committee and does not issue directives.

 

Board members have no obligations regarding the day to day running of events but may choose to get involved in initiatives of interest or be called on to help out in practical ways.
