Northpower Electric Power Trust (Whangarei District Council Area) Election of Trustees - 19 November 2016
CANDIDATE STATEMENTS Erc ANGELO As a born and bred Northlander, a successful Chartered Accountant, professional Director and Trustee, I have the acumen and experience to continue to work on your behalf; your community in Whangarei, and all surrounding Districts of the Northpower Network. Specific skills are required for this role. As the current Chairperson of the Northpower Trust and as Deputy Chairperson of The Energy Trusts of NZ, I recognise implicitly the need for an innate knowledge of Trustee stewardship, law, integrity and dedication – not only for Northpower consumer beneficiaries, but also for future consumers moving into our region. A critical Trustee priority is continually protecting the interests of all consumer beneficiaries and listening to, and acting on, consumers concerns. Other critical priorities are ensuring robust consultation with consumers regarding five yearly ownership reviews (due in 2017), along with appointing the best possible Directors to the Board of your Company - Northpower.
Murray BROADBELT Place Northpower in safe hands with leadership and experience you can trust. Northpower is your taonga. You are both consumers and shareholders. This is your valuable asset which must be protected. As your Trustee, I will safeguard your interests by bringing years of leadership and governance experience. I am a local business owner of Employer Services Limited, and able to provide time and expertise to community organisations. Currently I am on the Board of Trustees for Northland’s Rescue Helicopters and the $1.2billion Foundation North community trust, which grants approximately $40million to Northland and Auckland communities. My commitment to you, through governance and oversight, is to ensure Northpower’s profitability, continuation of line holidays and credits off your power account. Allowing Northpower to uphold high standards of safety, quality and innovation and to appoint top-class Directors, will lead your Company into the future. Place Northpower in safe hands. Elect Murray Broadbelt.
Irene DURHAM Re-elect Irene Durham. Northpower Ltd belongs to you the Consumer. My role is to ensure Northpower’s value is safeguarded and its success is maintained. I am committed to monitor performance and protect and enhance the value of Northpower for the long term. Let me continue to safeguard your interests. Northpower remains in consumer ownership. This means you continue to receive cash dividend or rebate on your power bills. My business experience is in law, finance, investment, and business consulting. I offer a high standard of Governance and Trustee skills. I am positive, discerning and act with integrity. I am committed to Northland, a 6th Generation Northlander and successful Northland Businesswoman. I was awarded NZ Business Woman of the Year 1998 and have Degree in Management and Post-graduate studies in Finance and Law. I live on the Tutukaka Coast with husband Bill; enjoy sport, reading, travel and time with family. www.evoke.co.nz/northpower/
Sue GLEN Northpower Electric Power Trust belongs to you and I and my main role, as a trustee, is to protect fully the value of the shares in Northpower.

Personally, I offer the ability to work hard by using my developed skill base in the areas of business ownership, local council decision making (12 years), Whangarei Boys High School Board of Trustees (6 years) and Chairperson of the Northland Real Estate Institute (3 years), and presently by supporting two local trusts. I will ensure my determined, sensible attitude will benefit us all. Continued success is the key – achievable by safeguarding your interests.

Ross PROVAN
Born in Whangarei, I am a passionate, committed Northlander, committed to work for regional good. I have managed and owned successful building, joinery and hightech timber processing export operations spanning 45 years – influential for trade training numerous young Northland apprentices. The trustees’ role and performance has a profound influence on the protection and enhancement of Northpower’s shareholder interests. As an elected member of the NEPT I believe I have firmly proven my ability in this important governance position. Northpower’s strategic growth and technological advancement requires responsible governance to enhance and protect your shareholder interests through sound business acumen. And a well considered approach to future growth possibilities. Northpower is a unique company which you – the connected electricity consumers of Whangarei and Kaipara – own. It is a mature, capable, diversified international business that employs, trains and promotes Northlanders, while distributing profits to its consumer shareholders in Kaipara and Whangarei.
