You can attend online, or in person at Eden Terrace, Auckland.

Extraordinary Meeting: 2 August
10-11am
Online
If the AGM approves the new Deed, this meeting will be focused on resolutions to wind up the organisation’s current incorporated society and transition to the new Charitable Trust.
Why are we having two meetings?
This is required constitutionally to transition to the new legal entity.
This Extraordinary Meeting will be short, but it’s equally important. It's also an opportunity to ask questions about how the process of transferring assets will work. Please RSVP for both meetings, as your oversight and insights are needed and much appreciated!
Background on the vote for a new Trust Deed
After important discussion over the last few years, a decision was made at the 2024 AGM to change our legal structure from an Incorporated Society to a Charitable Trust. This was in response to changes in the legislation governing Incorporated Societies (which the organisation is currently).
To change we need a new Trust Deed for the organisation. To do this a working group made up of AIANZ staff and longstanding members along with the Board developed a draft. This draft was consulted on with supporters and feedback was carefully considered (to find out more click here). A second round of consultation opens 28th April and closes 8 May.
