The Board of Management (BOM) consists of elected members of the EFKS Porirua Church’s congregational groups. BOM members have and must apply skills, knowledge and experience in the best interests of AEPI, be committed to high quality governance, and assist AEPI to meet its objectives and the requirements of this Statement of Intent.

The AEPI BOM is strategic in character and existence. We are adamant that ‘Strategic Governance’ is the foundation element of building a robust, flexible and sustainable organisation that is clear about the contribution it makes to people and communities.
