Community Board members represent and act as spokespeople for the interests of their local community, so this is a significant role, says Board Chair Jill Day.
Candidate nominations
“While we are sad to see Janryll go, we are grateful for the passion and commitment he has brought to the role, and we wish him well with his new adventures overseas.
“His departure leaves a big hole on the board, but we are excited at the prospect of a new candidate bringing their fresh take on how we can best serve our community.
“The community is the beating heart of Tawa, and the board advocates for them – especially where the big issues like housing, infrastructure and transport are concerned.
“So if you are passionate about the community and want to support it, we encourage you to find out more about the role and throw your hat in the ring.”
