Reminder | Board positions at the 2024 AGM
A reminder that this year the terms of three directors (Johnny McGregor, Jeremy Banks and Miriana Stephens) will expire at the 2024 AGM.
In addition to these three seats available by rotation, this year there are also two vacated seats or ‘special vacancies’. These have modified terms with the balance of the original three-year term to be served.
This means that at the 2024 AGM the following positions are available:
AGM 2024
Annual General Meeting
Saturday 30 November 2024
NEW VENUE: Kono Horticulture 188 College Street, Motueka
As you know, at this year’s AGM we are introducing online and postal voting for the first time. This is in addition to our existing in-person and proxy voting methods.
The end-to-end delivery of our Wakatū Board elections will be managed by electionz.com. You can read more about this on our Owners’ Portal
Please keep an eye out for further information on what to expect as part of the voting process.
Ngā manaakitanga,
