A new chairman has been appointed to take the reins of Enterprise Great Lake Taupo.
Greg Stebbing has been appointed chairman after accountant and entrepreneur Sue de Bievre stepped down.
"Sue has built an impressive board in its formative stages and led the organisation at a very hands-on level for the past few years," Mr Stebbing said.
"Her strength in ensuring that the board maintained a strategic focus and her passion for innovation will be missed."
Mr Stebbing said the board acknowledged Ms de Bievre's dedication and commitment to economic growth in the Taupo district and wished her well for her new business.
