Meet the ANZA Executive Committee 2023, an esteemed panel of members with one unified goal: to make the ANZA community in Singapore the best it can be.
T
his year’s ANZA General Meeting (AGM), the first in-person AGM since 2020, was an elegant soiree, hosted as the sun went down on a beautiful March evening at the New Zealand High Commissioner’s Residence. The event began with a karakia from Matua Paul Foden to bless the AGM and the year ahead in the ANZA community. This was followed by a warm welcome from New Zealand High Commissioner, Her Excellency Gabrielle Rush who generously hosted more than 60 guests, including new and established ANZA members into the Residence. Guests took their seats outside on the open veranda with a glass of wine in hand as ANZA President Megan Kinder led proceedings, kicking off with an update on our inclusive community. This was followed by ANZA group leaders delivering insightful presentations, highlighting contributions over the past twelve months and sharing their hopes for the future. For the first time in over a decade, nominees for the executive committee went to a vote. After online voting concluded at 7.10pm sharp, results were verified and announced. Read on to meet the new ANZA Executive Committee 2023. A huge congratulations to all returning and onboarding exec members, and a big thank you to everyone who voted and attended the AGM. See you at the same time, same place next year, yes?
