PSO Board Chairman, Tim Mepham is running in the Dunedin constituency for the Otago Regional Council.
Over the last nine years Tim has also been a trustee and treasurer of the Yellow Eyed Penguin Trust, an organisation established to re-establish coastal habitat and protect this endangered species. Tim is also an avid fly fisherman.
It is this active involvement in the coastal areas, rivers and lakes of Otago and his concern around the management of this taonga (treasure) that has prompted him to seek to be elected to Otago Regional Council.
