NZIBO Constitution

We would encourage all biologists in New Zealand to become members of NZIBO so that together we can support our talented secondary school biologists to see biology as a vibrant and valuable career pathway. Membership is free but allows you to be included in our outreach and keep in touch with the activities of the NZIBO programme.
