Day 1 in the life of a Community Committee member

Yesterday I attended a half day briefing at the Council on what should concern the two Community Committees in Hutt City. The managers of several business units attended and gave us an oversight of what work they are undertaking, and what they want to progress in the near future. A few caught my attention and think will probably make an appearance on the committees radar as well.

I do feel a little swamped with all the rules and procedures that I've got to bone up on - it's a steep learning curve with lots of reading at the moment. But it's one of the things you do when you want to be an effective member of a committee.

Now - if anyone wants to suggest something for the committee to look at then by all means flick me an email.

Or if you just want to see what happens at these meetings, then feel free to come along - the first meeting is on the 14th April at the Taita Community Centre. You can even make a brief presentation at the start of the meeting on any topic on the agenda!
