NZPF President and Vice President Election Results - 19 August 2016
It is with great pleasure that the NZPF Executive Committee announces its President and Vice-President for the 2017 year. We warmly congratulate Whetu Cormick as the President-elect and Karen Brisco as the Vice-President-elect. Both were elected unopposed. Whetu and Karen will take up their positions from 1 January 2017.
Ordinary Executive Committee members will continue in their roles for a further year, since Executive Committee elections are held every two years. We will be welcoming Deidre Alderson from Auckland as a new Executive Committee member to replace Karen Brisco as she moves to the Vice-President's position. Deidre was the next highest polling candidate in the last Executive Committee election held in 2015.
We will farewell Denise Torrey as the Immediate Past President and Iain Taylor becomes the IPP next year.
