Jan Pryor has resigned from her position as Chief Families Commissioner.
Social Development and Employment Minister Paula Bennett said today she had accepted the resignation, which was because of personal reasons.
"I would like to recognise the personal commitment Dr Pryor made to the role," Ms Bennett said. "She is passionate about the rights and needs of families and I know this is what drove everything she did as Chief Commissioner."
Dr Pryor will remain with the commission until the end of May when the resignation takes effect, and her deputy, Bruce Pilbrow, will step in to her role if an appointment has not been made by then.
