The Board’s role is to act in the best interests of Canterbury Museum in order to ensure its long term sustainability and achieves this through a close working relationship with the Director, who is charged with the day-to-day leadership and management of the Museum. The Board meets monthly, except for January, each year.

The Board maintains an up-to-date register of interests.
