Posted Monday 15 Aug 2016

If you are a paid-up member of WIFT you will have received the email about the upcoming AGM and election of board members. You will also have received a special link so you can nominate someone (or yourself).

If for some reason you have missed out please email office@wiftnz.org.nz and Patricia will rectify this.

For your information...The AGM will be held in Wellington on 4th October so mark that in your calendars now.

Nominations close on  6th September for nomination forms to be received in the WIFT office.  As a membership organisation, governance should be of interest to all our members.  We would encourage you therefore to engage with the process and think about who you would like to lead you at Board level over the coming year.
