The NZSCA is a leading rural sector association for shearing Contractors within New Zealand.
The NZSCA is a nationally orientated democratic organisation that provides and represents its members with a collective voice from within each province. It is a voluntary, member funded organisation, accountable to its members.
The Association represents almost 100 financial members who we estimate shear approximately 75% of the national flock.
All executive members are elected at the AGM by the financial members.
Part of the NZSCA constitutional policy is to obtain the best geographical spread of elected executive members from throughout NZ.
The current executive who were voted in at the 2008 AGM held in Surfers Paradise, Australia are:
