An enjoyable 2022 AGM evening
27 November, 2022

Our recently held AGM was a real success with a large turnout and a variety of stakeholders including current and potential donors, commercial partners, and professional advisors.

The formalities were completed professionally by Chair Dave Ashcroft, who summarised the activity of the Foundation across the reporting year.

Real value was added to the event with Sir Stephen Tindall speaking online from Auckland, complimenting TotSCF on their 2022 progress, and offering to attendees his thoughts on the positive growth of Community Foundations in New Zealand, and the unique proposition that is the CF endowment model.

Arron Perriam (CFNZ Executive Director) gave a great overview of CFNZ and the wider progress across the NZ-wide CF network.

To complete the enjoyable evening our very own World Champion Adventure racer Nathan Fa’avae entertained the audience with some great stories about his team’s recent success on the world stage.
