We would like to invite you to Auckland Challenge’s 2025 AGM online via Microsoft Teams at 7:00pm on the 21st of August;

As an Incorporated Society the AGM is an important time of year for us where we review our progress and performance over the past financial year as well as electing our governance board for the coming year.

Files and reports for the AGM will be uploaded here: 2025 AGM 20250821 as they become available.

Membership

Incorporated Societies are required to have members in order to remain operating. As a member you get the privilege to vote at our Annual General Meeting and any Special General Meetings we hold. This helps us to operate legally and guide our direction. Membership lasts for up to one year (until 3 months following the AGM after you join) and has no costs associated. If you would like to be a member of Auckland Challenge for the following year please fill in this application form: https://force.aucklandchallenge.org.nz/s/membership-application

Board

Our governance board is responsible for overseeing our legal obligations and responsibilities. They meet regularly throughout the year to review our strategy, financial performance, policy and organisational direction. Being on the Board is a great way to give back to Auckland Challenge if you feel you have benefitted from our support. This year, we are also looking for a new Chairperson and Treasurer! If you would like to stand for the Auckland Challenge board please email admin@aucklandchallenge.org.nz by the 15th of August.

You can find more information about our board in our 2025_07 Board Introduction .docx and 2024_08 Board member job description.docx
