Kay Therese McKelvie[1] QSO is a New Zealand chairwoman. She was previously chair of the Waitemata District Health Board and the New Zealand Tourism Board.

Career[edit]

McKelvie was chairwoman of the Waitemata District Health Board starting from 2001 until 2009.[2][3] She was appointed by Labour MP Annette King, and resigned in 2009, citing a lack of funding to the board from the National government. It was funded $1.074 billion, which she predicted would result in a $35 million deficit as a result of it not "tak[ing] into account the increase in population in the Waitemata district".[3][4][5]

In 2007 McKelvie was appointed a director of the Crown Health Financing Agency for a three-year term.[5][6] That year she was also appointed a member of the New Zealand Tourism Board for two years.[7] As of 2008 she is also chairwoman of Quotable Value, the Housing New Zealand Appeal Authority, a member of the National Capital Committee and Ministry of Health, and a director of Word Pictures Ltd.[8]

In the 2009 New Year Honours McKelvie was named a companion of the Queen's Service Order for services to business and health.[3][9]
