Making good decisions certificate holders: non local body elected members

This list is currently ordered by certificate name.

Notes:

Certificates are valid for a 3 year period from the date of first issue. On re-issue (at 're-certification') they are valid for a period of five years.
The 'position' reference for some certificate holders is marked with an asterisk (e.g. "councillor*"). This refers to those certificate holders who were elected members up until the October 2007 local body elections. As they are no longer elected members but remain certificate holders they have been transferred to this list.
The chairing endorsement column records those who, in attaining re-certification, have successfully demonstrated the competencies for chairing required by the Making Good Decisions programme.
