Hoe Tonga’s AGM 2023 was held on 25 June 2024 online via ZOOM. The majority of clubs were represented, alongside former Board members and Trevor Mieklejohn, (Aukaha Project Manager, Waka Ama NZ). The annual report for 2023 was accepted, and a copy of the report is available here.

Our thanks to outgoing Board members Stacey Agnew, Pania Tauhau-Hodges, Patrick Rimene – Hoe Tonga thanks you for your support and governance.

The results of board member elections were also confirmed. Voting took place by postal vote, and 13 club submitted votes a 100% return rate – ka pai koutou!. The successful candidates were James Sadler, Ani Suitauloa, Mataiawhea Te Kere and Karl Hobman. Welcome aboard and thanks to all nominees and club representatives for engaging in this process.

The new Board will meet with our remaining Board member Anita Taggart in the near future, and elect a new chair. Please email hoetonga@gmail.com if you would like to share ideas, concerns with the Board.
