From the Top – Ros Rice

Kia ora Team,
It is with much pleasure following our AGM I would like to introduce you to two new members of the CNA Executive Committee. 
We sadly have to farewell the amazing two power house women, Denise Lormans who represented the Invercargill Interagency Forum and Jo Taylor who represented Child Abuse Prevention from Hauraki.  These two women with their amazing intellects have been long term members of our Committee and their input has been invaluable to the growth and management of CNA.
Our two new members are Liz Davies who is the CEO of SociaLink from Tauranga and Jayden Cromb from Alexandra Council of Social Services.
Liz brings to the table a huge amount of experience in research, policy and advocacy.  With a Masters in Social Work and a history in local government, mental health and child protection we know her contribution to our organisation will be fantastic.
Jayden is bringing not only youth and intellect, he also brings his experience as Chair of Alexandra COSS and Chair of Alexandra District Youth Trust.  Jayden is the ABLE Southern Family Support Activity Coordinator and has spent 3 years on the Executive board of Otago Polytechnic Students Association.  We are so excited that Jayden sees value in being on the CNA Executive Committee and we can’t wait to see what perspectives he will bring to our table.

See you soon – Ros

Whitianga Community Services Trust

The Whitianga Community Services Trust (Whitianga Social Services) hosted an expo on the 30th October to celebrate the power of community agencies and to promote the vital role of social service agencies and other support agencies in the Mercury Bay.

‘Accessible and collaborative community events are an essential part of developing a sense of belonging and community. They encourage neighbourly relationships and establish links that build and strengthen communities and family and whānau overall’ said Sheryll FitzPatrick Manager of the Whitianga Social Services.

It was a wonderful day with 23 agencies from as far away as Tauranga, Hamilton  and Thames joining us. It was as much an opportunity for the support services to get to know each other as members of the public.

It was our first expo and we are thrilled with  the support we received. Hopefully it will be an ongoing yearly event.
