Building Institute Aotearoa has a National Board comprised of up to nine members who meet every two months.

There are six Board Members who are appointed via a biennial election process.

The nominated/elected members are: Chair, up to 3 x Regional Representatives, and up to 3 x Membership Representatives.

In addition, the National Board can co-opt two Board Members to fill any gaps that may be identified in the Board make-up. The co-opted Board Members can be drawn from both the Institute's membership, and (if required) from the wider building industry.

The National Board term is for two-years, with the current Board term expiring in late 2025.
