Administration Professionals Day Celebration Event - 21 April @ 6pm
We would love administrators across Palmerston North and Manawatu to join us on the evening of Wed 21 April. Annually we hold an event to acknowledge the role administrators play and the value they add to the success of the organisations the work for.
The key note speaker will be Sharon Dagg who will speak on "Overcoming Adversity". She will talk about her journey from an accident and then amputation to where she is today. Sharon recently become the first woman amputee to complete the Coast-to-Coast multi-sport event and will inspire us to move ahead despite the challenges that come our way.
Drinks and hors d'oeuvres and spot prize draws throughout the evening!

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?
As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙
One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.
So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
-
59.4% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
26.3% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
14.3% ... It is complicated
