Two new trustees have been appointed to assist in inspiring Bay of Plenty communities to be the most active in the country.
Rotorua-based commercial lawyer Mark Copeland and Tauranga-based Jo Tisch join the six members on the Sport Bay of Plenty trust after the terms of Gill Gemming and Craig Corbett came to an end last year.
Sport Bay of Plenty chief executive Wayne Werder said both outgoing trustees had made considerable contributions to the board.
"We are very pleased to welcome Jo and Mark who both have a strong understanding of the sport and recreation sector, through participation and governance."
Copeland said he was passionate about involvement in sport and recreation for every New Zealander.
