From Kūki 'Āirani (the Cook Islands) Kim will be LIANZA’s first Pasifika president. A ceremony took place on 30 June to welcome Kim Taunga and new President-elect Richard Misilei at Auckland’s newest community facility, Te Paataka Koorero o Takaanini – Taakanini Community Hub, which opened in late March.

Three regional councillor roles for LIANZA Te Whakakitenga aa Kaimai, LIANZA Ikaroa and LIANZA Murihiku cease from June 30, 2022. We will farewell and thank Melanie Chivers and Amber Nicholson for their contribution to LIANZA at their last meeting in late June.

Current regional councillor roles for LIANZA  Hikuwai, LIANZA Te Upoko te Ika a Maui, and LIANZA  Aoraki continue until June 30, 2023. We are pleased to have Philip Miles, Stephnie Burton and Gail Cook continue as council members, during the transition to the new governance structure.
