Join the Conversation - The Charities Amendment Bill

It will require changes to charity reporting, compliance and governance.

Date: November 2
Time: 12.30pm - 2pm
Venue: On zoom or at 3 Gibbons Road, Takapuna.

A light lunch will be provided at the venue.

You will learn:

* Some of the key change

* Why it is important for charities

* How to have you say and contribute to the discussion

* Practical tips for writing a submission

* Discussion and the opportunity for organisations to collaborate on a joint submission

The workshop will be led by Sandy Thompson (LEAD).

Brought to you by Auckland North Community and Development.

Poll: 🤖 What skills do you think give a CV the ultimate edge in a robot-filled workplace?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Reserve Bank has shared some pretty blunt advice: there’s no such thing as a “safe” job anymore 🛟😑

Robots are stepping into repetitive roles in factories, plants and warehouses. AI is taking care of the admin tasks that once filled many mid-level office jobs.

We want to know: As the world evolves, what skills do you think give a CV the ultimate edge in a robot-filled workplace?

Poll: Should complete designs be shared with the public, or should the community help shape the designs from the start?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Post recently shared an opinion piece on the Harbour Crossing and why a more democratic approach might be needed 🚗🚲👟

While most decisions sit within the political arena, many organisations—like NZTA—manage long-term projects that go beyond party lines. Politics can sometimes disrupt progress, and the next Harbour Crossing is a big decision that will affect all Aucklanders.

We’d love your thoughts: Should near-complete, shovel-ready designs be shared with the public, or should the community have a hand in shaping the designs from the start?
