Accord Sector Reference Groups
The Sector Reference Groups are made up of leadership representation from the residential, commercial and infrastructure sub-sectors. We have also convened the Kōtuiā te hono | Māori Advisory Group to drive delivery and advice on how the Accord can uplift the Māori construction economy.
Other targeted groups may be set up on an ad hoc basis where a need for expertise is identified.

Accord Forum
The Accord Forum membership includes the Accord Steering Group, Sector Reference Groups, the Kōtuiā te hono Māori Advisory Group, other senior sector executives and Accord Network members. Dean Kimpton is the Chair of the Accord Forum.
The intent of the Forum is to bring the construction sector and government together to navigate and manage emerging issues, creating the space for transformation. Members of the Forum have the opportunity to hear updates from ministers and provide feedback. The Accord will share information about transformation priorities and actions. The Forum is also a platform for sharing lessons learnt and achievements that could benefit the wider sector.
Forum meetings are virtual and breakout rooms may be used for small group discussions.
