We invite our valued members to come and join us at HPF’s online AGM, which is scheduled for Thurs Nov 16 where  we’ll share what has been achieved over the past year, as well some exciting developments in the pipeline.

HPF has one Board position up for election as we farewell Sharon Kennedy-Muru who completes her third and final term with the Board. We welcome nominations from our member organisations throughout Aotearoa. This position is for one ‘Other’ member as Māori, Pacific and Asian are filled.  

If you know someone who has the governance skills and experience to steer the direction and contribute to the advancement of Health Promotion in Aotearoa, get your nominations in before the deadline which is 12 midday, Oct 26.

Nomination forms, along with the AGM notice, which includes the Zoom link and other relevant documents, have been sent out to members.
