Administration Professionals Day Celebration - 21 April @ 6pm
We would love administrators (including EA's, receptionists, finance and payroll staff) across Palmerston North and Manawatu to join us at The Verdict Cafe, to acknowledge their role and the value they add to the success of the organisations the work for. Does this sound like you? Or are you a manager who would like to acknowledge your administrator/s? We'd like you to come along.
The key note speaker will be Sharon Dagg who will speak on "Overcoming Adversity" and 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, fabulous food and great spot prize draws throughout the evening!
Great news! Ticket sales extended out to Sunday 18 April (limited to available capacity)!

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
