Community Networks Aotearoa Members Hui2025

Hui2025 marks CNA’s 50th year as an important sector organisation and resource for Aotearoa/New Zealand. In the last three years, our membership has grown, not only in numbers but also in the range of kaupapa and services that you provide all across the Motu.


We are proud to be your umbrella organisation and continue to provide information, representation, and support. This celebratory networking event is aimed at ensuring your organisation lasts as long as we have. Yes, that is a brag!

CNA Member RSVP

We're turning 50! 🎂

CNA started life as NZCOSS, which was formed as a national social service umbrella organisation on 10th November 1975 by signed order from the Minister of Social Welfare, Norman King, under the Department of Social Welfare Act 1971.


Since then, we’ve changed our name but continued to provide substantial resources, reports, and representation to the sector and at the government level.


We’ve taken on banks, the State of the Sector Report, Select Committees, and more in order to lessen pain points and provide easier ways forward.

Come celebrate with us at our Members’ Hui – meet some old faces, and some even older faces. A blast from the past as we start our next half century. Time for cake and some bubbles.
