Your voice matters He Reo Whaimana Tō Reo
Being an Owner means you can have a say. Vote on key matters at the Trust’s annual general meeting each year. Your voice will also be sought in the election of Trustees who make significant resolutions that affect the governance and strategic direction of the Trust. Annual general meetings are typically held in the first quarter of each year, though the Trust is looking to move this earlier – so the meeting falls within the calendar year of the recently ended business financial year.
