The Council has recently approved the establishment of a Sister Cities Committee, creating an exciting opportunity for community members to contribute to strengthening international relationships and cultural exchange.

Sister city partnerships foster friendship, cultural understanding, educational opportunities, knowledge sharing, and tourism connections between communities around the world.

We are now seeking Expressions of Interest from community members who would like to be involved in this new committee.

- Voluntary community role
- Quarterly committee meetings
- Opportunity to participate in working groups as required

📍Request an Expression of Interest form from governance@selwyn.govt.nz
📍Applications close 23 August and will be presented to Council for consideration.

If you're passionate about building global connections and representing our community, we'd love to hear from you.
