Ngā mihi nui ki a koutou katoa,

We are looking forward to seeing those of you who have registered for our final Connections Day of the year, this Thursday, November 3rd at Claudelands Event Centre (Globox). The day is being run by Sport Waikato and we look forward to the exciting speakers and activities they have prepared for us.

Last week, the WPA executive met to plan the Connections Days for 2023 and to discuss our other key events for next year. The theme for 2023 is 'Courageous Leadership' and we are excited about the events planned. We look forward to sharing more information with you as our organisation for these events is confirmed.

A reminder about our end of year dinner which is being held at The Boatshed, Karapiro, on Friday 25th November. You can register for this event on the WPA website.

Ngā manaakitanga,
Lesley
