Tēnā koutou,

For the past month we’ve been deliberating over whether to host an AGM.

It has been decided that the best approach would be to have a General Meeting early next year (March-April). A lot of our members typically return home for the summer and/or take up full-time work so availability becomes an issue during Trimester 3.

I know this is unconventional, however, the Co-vid 19 pandemic has impacted our ability to connect with tauira and subsequently mentor potential executive members. Given the exceptional circumstances of 2020, I hope you all can understand why this choice was made.

We want to prioritise electing a strong executive team and ensuring they have the right wrap around support to carry NTU into the future.

If you have any questions or concerns please DM our page.
