A Huge Welcome to our New WIFT Board Members

WIFT has held our 2025 AGM and an enormous ngā mihi nui to all who stood and of course to those of you who voted.

It was a neck and neck very exciting race in the South Island and we are delighted to report not one but TWO phenomenal WIFT women will share the seat - congrats and welcome to Amanda Jenkins and Anna Canton!

As we welcome these two wāhine to their new post, we must also acknowledge and thank the incredibly enthusiastic and professional Vanessa Wells for her ten years of committed service to WIFT across Te Waipounamu and Aotearoa.

In Tāmaki Makaurau Auckland Tammy Williams retains her seat, congrats Tammy!

President: Tash Christie

Auckland representatives:  Sally Campbell, Tammy Williams

Wellington representatives: Jasmin McSweeney, Sophie Cherry

South Island representatives: Amanda Jenkins and Anna Canton (shared role)
