Kia ora All,
An update on events coming up and free resources that may help you or your group…
On Wednesday 5th June (yes, tomorrow!) am excited to join another Community Governance Aotearoa session this time on chairing meetings but with a particular focus on chairing of AGMs. Here is how they describe the event and sign ups are here:
“AGMs are coming up, how do we run a great one?
Sonya Rimene (Te Tumu Paeroa) will lead the first hour 12pm to 1pm for those who chair Māori entities and trusts. Sonya will explore what makes a good AGM and some practical guidance. Q&A will follow.
Steven Moe (Parry Field Lawyers) will lead the second hour 1pm to 2pm, continuing the exploration on chairing not-for-profit AGMs, some practical tips, and what makes a good AGM. Q&A to follow.”
Great to connect with almost 40 recently over lunch. Here is the video of Rahul the new CEO at Philanthropy NZ sharing for those who missed it, or who would like to share with anyone else you can forward this on. Thanks to Safe for the video support!
