Raymond wants to champion and support the growth of choral music and bring fresh perspectives to the board, having seen first-hand the unique benefits of Aotearoa’s choral experiences for his three boys from Westlake Boys High School.
With extensive governance experience with not-for-profit organisations, Raymond wishes to give back to the community after many years of supporting the various choral communities for over two decades. He is a Chartered member of the Institute of Directors and a Fellow of the Chartered Governance Institute who has founded and led several professional organisations in the past.
Raymond holds an MBA, an honours degree in strategic management, and several postgraduate and professional qualifications. He is currently a board member of the New Zealand Choral Federation, chairperson of the Glenfield Community Centre, and member of the Human Research Ethics Committee at Massey.
