The Supreme Sikh Society of New Zealand is the largest Sikh body in New Zealand responsible for overseeing the day to day operations of gurdwaras, educational institutions and sports facilities.[1] The Society is a registered charity with more than 550 financial members and 2000 non-financial members.[2] The president and most senior officeholders belong to the decision-making committee, known as the Executive Committee.[3]

The Rules and Regulation Committee are the disciplinary authority over the Executive Committee. All members of the Executive Committee, who are elected by an annual general meeting for the term of two years or to fill a position, are responsible to financial members.[4]
