Minister of Internal Affairs Nathan Guy has announced 18 appointments across seven national lottery distribution
committees today.
The appointments are:

Member.
• National Community, and Outdoor Safety – Ron Parkin has been appointed as a new member to both committees, which share
the same membership.
• “I want to thank the outgoing members for their service to the community. I also welcome the new members who have a
real variety of skills and experience to bring to these roles,” says Mr Guy.
Lottery distribution committees make grants for community purposes, using money allocated by the Lottery Grants Board
from the profits of New Zealand Lotteries. This comes from games such as Lotto, Lotto Strike, Instant Kiwi and Keno.
