Through its Zones, Centres, Clubs and Schools there are over 145,000 affiliated players. The sport contributes significantly to communities both urban and rural, providing opportunities for members to participate in healthy activity, have fun, develop leadership skills and learn values of fair play and achievement. All of these attributes contribute to the development of netballers, officials and administrators as individuals and to their communities across the Zone.

The Zone has 17 affiliated Netball Centres; spread across the Nelson, Marlborough, Tasman, West Coast and Canterbury (as far south as the Waitaki river) areas and has responsibility for the support and delivery of netball from community level through to high performance – leading the development of players, coaches, umpires, administrators, technical officials and volunteers across these levels.

After many years of financial struggle, the choice was made to look at every aspect of our business so that we could start to focus on where we could go as a business rather than how we were going to survive another year. The Board believes the process will lead to a stronger and more resilient organisation. The Netball New Zealand (NNZ) Board and staff have been very supportive of this approach and have had input at a strategic and operational level throughout the year. I would like to thank the NM Zone Board members who have taken on roles over and above the normal Board responsibilities as part of the reviews and changes during the year. Darren Wright who chaired the Organisational Review Group; Jan Whitehead who has worked tirelessly to understand the finances and undertaken a budget development approach with staff; Tim Kerr who has supported the Commercial Manager and played a key role in this aspect of the business and Scott McCrea stepped down as Board Chair but has remained as a Board member. I would like to acknowledge the work Scott undertook as Chair from April 2018 until July 2019. Anne Marett resigned as a Board Member in August 2019. Anne has been involved with Netball for many years and was on the NM Board from the inception of the Zones. She was the Board Chair until April 2018, providing a high level of support to the CEO and spent many hours working through the challenges faced. In July 2019, Brigit Hearn (NM CEO), tendered her resignation after six years of working for the organisation. The Board is very appreciative of her efforts during this time. Sally Marr (Event Manager) and Jen Hooper (Performance Development Manager) also resigned during the year and we thank them for the effort and energy they put into their roles. Emma Hodgkin (Commercial Manager) resigned at the end of 2019 to take up a CEO role with another sporting organisation. The organisational review has resulted in the CEO role being disestablished and replaced with two General Managers, one focused on Community Netball and Pathways, and the second focusing on the Performance arm and business of the sport. This structure will be in place as the organisation moves into the 2020 year. We are delighted to welcome Geni Tuilagi and Mal Humm into these positions and look forward to working with them in these roles. 11 Centre Forums We held our seventh annual Centre Forum in October 2019, a wonderful opportunity to share ideas, support each other and work together for the benefit of Netball in our Zone. To all those who attended this year’s NM Forum, we thank you for your input and feedback. We also held a Special General Meeting in October to update our Centres on the reviews we had undertaken, the outcomes found and the approach going forward. We are grateful for the support our Centres have provided over the year and we look forward to building on our relationships with all Centres at both the Board and staff level. The support of our sponsors and partners are key to the success of Netball in our Zone, from grass roots and to high performance. We acknowledge and thank every one of them for their contribution. Without their support we would not be able to continue to develop Netball in the Zone. Special thanks to Pure Oil - The Good Oil and Hellers for their support as naming rights sponsors and to our long-term sponsor SKOPE, who have been with us since the beginning of the National franchise competition. Our associate sponsors Avon City Ford and House of Travel (Christchurch City) alongside our many support partners are key to the success of our organisation and our Tactix and Beko teams. We are indebted to our wonderful group of funders; in particular, New Zealand Community Trust (NZCT), The Rata Foundation, Lion Foundation, Mainland Foundation, Southern Trust, Sport Canterbury and Sport Tasman for their on-going support, allowing us to continue to provide existing programmes and develop new initiatives to grow Netball participation. We have been very proud of the achievements of our Community and Performance teams. Across our Zone, the Community Team continued to develop stronger relationships with our 17 Netball Centres. We increased the number of Coach Developers,
