Qualification Types by University
Breakdown of academic, professional, governance, and honours credentials held by officers from each university.

The top 3 universities (University Of Auckland, Massey University, Te WāNanga O Aotearoa) together account for 18 officers across iwi governance boards.
Coverage of 1.9% reflects the proportion of officers with university data on record. This is typically lower than NZX director coverage because iwi annual reports less frequently include trustee education backgrounds.
The "Skill Diversity" score indicates the average number of distinct skill categories (out of 14) held by officers from each university. A higher score suggests broader governance capability among alumni.

Methodology
University data is sourced from the universities field on linked people records in the shared directory. This field is populated through automated extraction from biographies, annual reports, and cross-platform data sources.
University names are normalized to merge variants (e.g., "AUT" and "Auckland University of Technology" are treated as one institution).
Skills data comes from the iwi officer skills matrix (14 categories, 4 proficiency levels). Governance fees are drawn from disclosed trustee fee records where available. Qualification types are categorized as academic, professional, governance, or honours.
Tenure is calculated from appointment date to the present day. Only officers with a linked person record containing university data are included.
Data sourced from Iwi annual reports and cross-platform public records. Our datasets may not be complete. Automated analysis can produce errors. If you believe any data on this page is incorrect, please contact us at hello@iwidata.co.nz.
