We are sad to announce that Paul Marshall and Jillian Savell has resigned as a members of the Hoe Tonga Board.

We would like to thank them for their commitment to Waka Ama throughout the region over the years.

Paul has put in countless hours towards laying out the direction of Waka Ama in the region and has gotten his hands dirty in volunteering, in particular the Waka Ama Secondary School Regional Sprints. His passion for Waka will not be replaced.

Although Jillian has been a board member for a short time she has contributed significantly with her specialised knowledge and direction. All the best in Tauranga Jillian
