As a nation we were met with the challenges that the global pandemic presented us and I don’t need to tell anyone how successful New Zealand has been on that front. While our effort is valiant and we remain militant against Covid-19 I would personally like to acknowledge those that have been touched by this disease in any way. My thoughts are always with those who, through no fault of their own, have met hardship through this time. As the pandemic has changed our day to day lives, it has taught us that many undertakings previously thought impossible or not practical are in fact achievable and in most cases, necessary. I have picked up on the work of my predecessor, Kathleen Mulligan in starting to move our association in a digital direction. Under Kathleen’s careful direction over her time, the NZCBA digital space has been curated and cared for, and now we have plans to take this space to the next level. I have picked this theme up and run with it, delivering new productivity tools to our executive committee, that they may be more productive and diligent in their work. Change is difficult but I am confident that the changes being made in our digital spaces and productivity space are positive and will yield results for our future. We continue to watch the advancement of the much time and energy goes into the organising and often Incorporated Societies Bill which is currently in we forget the people that make it all possible.
