During his tenure, Bob played an instrumental role in driving the success and growth of Wakatū having served as a director on both the Wakatū board and Kono board. We extend our deepest gratitude to Bob for his hard work and dedication to the organisation.
Jeremy has been a member of the Whenua board for several years and has demonstrated outstanding leadership skills, industry knowledge and a deep commitment to the organisation. He currently serves as a director on the Wakatū board and Kono board, and leads our Business Technology Steering Committee.
With Bob’s ongoing contributions as a director and Jeremy’s leadership as the chair, we are confident that Wakatū via its Whenua operations, will continue to thrive and make a positive impact in the community.
Please join me in thanking Bob for his service and welcoming Jeremy to his new role.
