Region 1 and 3 Election Update

At the April 8 Video Conference Board Meeting, the Returning Officer sought Board approval to defer the election of Regional Reps for Region 1 and 3. The reason for the postponement was because of the lock down, there was no way to check the mail for entries on the closing date of April 15. In fact on April 20 the mail was able to be collected. Since no one stood against Darryl Johnston from Region 1, as returning officer, I can announce Darryl Johnston has been elected as Region 1 Rep. The election for the new Region 3 will remain deferred.

The New Zealand Welfare Society Board has agreed at this time to defer the election in Region 3.

Furthermore, the Board passed the following resolution:
"that as from the first of June 2020 ... Noel Brock will be the Region 3 Representative. Erroll Tapiki is appointed
as an Independent Board member. These positions will be temporary until the September Board meeting 2020."

Darryl Johnston has been elected as Region 1 Representative.

On June 1 - the start of the 5 Region configuration for the NZFFWS - until September Board Meeting:
Noel Brock has been appointed Region 3 Representative. 
Erroll Tapiki has been appointed as an Independent Regional Representative.

Elected Board Representatives as of June 1 are:
Darryl Johnston, Region 1
Mike Varga, Region 2
Alice Jonathan, Region 4
Kris Kennett, Region 5

Our Web page configured for 6 Board Representatives remains in place until June 1.
