Chapter Governance
The ISACA Wellington Chapter Constitution and Bylaws provide the foundation for how the Chapter is governed and operated.
The Constitution, approved by members at the Annual General Meeting on 6 March 2026, sets out the Chapter’s formal governance framework, including its purpose, membership, Board structure, decision-making and obligations as an incorporated society.
The Bylaws, effective from 6 March 2026, support the Constitution by setting out the operational rules and processes that guide the day-to-day governance and administration of the Chapter.
Together, these documents provide a clear framework for accountability, transparency and effective governance, while supporting alignment with ISACA Global requirements and the Chapter’s strategic direction.
