Invitation
Invitation from the President of Local Government New Zealand
It gives me great pleasure to invite you, for the last time in my role as President, to attend this year's Local Government New Zealand Conference, Sustainable Communities. Our excellent range of speakers will stimulate your thinking about sustainability, how it affects all facets of our lives, and how you, as elected officials, and can lead and respond to your community's changing needs.
Our conference is a unique event. It gives councils an opportunity to draw out issues of shared concern, explore solutions, celebrate successes, and look to the future and the ever-changing role of local government.
Please join me in Rotorua for a wonderful experience and to meet your fellow elected members from around the country. Take time to explore the best that Rotorua and the Bay of Plenty has to offer and to feel the spirit of the region.
I look forward to seeing you.
Basil Morrison, President
