Surprise Wgtn Airport Community Awards Nomination!!

Well, this was a surprise this morning - some anonymous nominator has put us forward for the Wellington Airport Regional Community Awards!

"Wellington International Airport and the five local councils come together to recognise the work carried out by community groups in the wider Wellington region. The focus of the awards is to celebrate volunteers for their valuable contribution to society."

We are really proud of the mahi that we do for our Members both regionally and nationally. Including  loads of support, advocacy, and projects to help organisations focus on what they are there to do - not the bureaucracy they deal with to get that mahi done!

Our must do Tick For Governance course is gaining traction with uptake growing daily - it is a Governance 101 course for anyone on a committee, board, or trust. In a fun and whimsical way it covers all you need to know if you are on one of those bodies. We're out to strengthen and grow our communities by equipping them with easy to understand knowledge that will get them acknowledgement by giving them an NZQA approved micro-credential upon successful completion.

We're now starting on our next project - looking at easing the difficulties Not-For-Profits have with the banking sector. Ever tried to change your org.s signatories? Have you got over the hassle of the end of cheques? Proving identification of board members? Explaining to a bank that the Anti-Money Laundering legislation is not aimed at you? If you want to find out more or you want to tell us your horror stories for our research head over to our Banking Issues in the Community Sector page.

So thank you to who ever nominated us and - watch this space!
