✨ Trustees' Report Continuation
14 JUNE 2013 NEW ZEALAND GAZETTE, No. 76 2005
TRUSTEES
During the year the term of two trustees expired. Kaye McAulay (Marlinborough) and Bruce Mills (Feilding) were both reappointed for a further term of four years. The Trust welcomed Anna Hansen (Hastings), who was appointed to fill a vacancy on the Trust. Dr Bev Edlin (Levin) resigned in December 2012, and the Trust wishes to record its thanks to Bev for her valuable contribution as a trustee. Bev’s replacement was appointed in the 2013 appointment round.
I would like to record my appreciation to all the Trustees involved with the Trust over the past twelve months for their assistance and support to the Trust, and also to me as chair.
STAFF
The Trust is fortunate to have had no changes in staff over the last twelve months. Bev Watkins, Raewynne Jacobs, Jill Wollard and Patricia Devlin continued to process all applications for donations as well as manage the administration of the Trust with professionalism and skill. The Trustees recognise and appreciate the contribution the staff make to the efficient operation and continued success of the Trust, under the excellent leadership of the trust manager, John McKenzie. We wish to place on record our sincere thanks to Bev, Raewynne, Jill, Patricia and John for their continued passion, professionalism and commitment to the Trust.
LOOKING AHEAD
The introduction of web-based applications has been slower to implement than expected, and has not yet occurred. It is now anticipated that this will occur during the latter part of 2013, allowing the advantages for both applicants and the Trust to be realised; however, paper-based applications will continue to be accepted.
While the Trust continues to hope for a more certain financial environment, it is unlikely this will be realised in the short-term. The 2013/14 financial year will continue to offer challenges for the management of the Trust’s investments. The Trust regularly reviews its policies with a view to protecting its assets for the benefit of our communities today, as well as in the future. The better financial performance in this financial year has allowed the Trust to make a modest increase to the donations budget for the 2013/14 year, and Trustees look forward to continuing to support our communities.
