SLANZA Auckland AGM

The SLANZA Auckland AGM was held at Freemans Bay Primary school and was well attended by members. A robust discussion was held on the draft SLANZA Vision and Mission statements, with agreement to further petition members for their thoughts
Two long standing members of the Auckland committee stood down from their roles. However, both have agreed to stay on as part of the 2018 committee.
They are:
Elizabeth Atkinson, SLANZA Auckland Convenor - and more recently, the convenor of the SLANZA Auckland Conference Convenor.
And Trish Webster our SLANZA Auckland National Executive representation. 
The significant contribution that they have made to the SLANZA Auckland region was acknowledged.  We have been extremely fortunate to have two such knowledgeable, passionate and dedicated people in these roles.
One new member was elected onto the committee - we welcome Michele Coobridge from Epsom Girls Grammar School.
The evening finished with our guest speaker , Madeleine Chapman.  Madeleine ghost authored the new Steven Adams autobiography. She kept us enthralled and entertained with fascinating insights and amusing anecdotes about her whole writing experience,
