Generosity makes change when built on trust and capability
Kelvyn Eglinton reflects on this time as CEO of Momentum Waikato...
As the Waikato Regional Theatre rises out of the ground, the regional endowment fund approaches $44million while supporting an ever-growing range of causes, and Tirohanga Houchen Wellbeing Space begins delivering services to the community, I have been asked to reflect on which of Momentum Waikato’s achievements I am most proud of from my six years as its CEO.
My sense of satisfaction is not simply about the specific projects. It comes from seeing what is possible when a whole bunch of people are mobilised by the belief that philanthropy done differently can create real positive change for our community.

'We are re-litigating it' - Dissent coming at city council plan meet
It’s involved significant financial fireworks over conflicting opinions but Hamilton City Council’s 2024-34 long term plan (LTP) is now set to narrowly get the nod for adoption on Thursday.
But several senior councillors warn it won’t all be plain sailing for mayor Paula Southgate and her supporters, even if they have the numbers for their approach.

Fallout from 'abusive' Bydder submission grows
Two dozen code of conduct complaints - an apparent record - have been made to Hamilton City Council over a profanity-laden submission from one of its councillors to Waipā District Council.
The city council late on Monday confirmed 24 code of conduct complaints about councillor Andrew Bydder’s submission - he says as a private citizen - over constructing a third bridge in Cambridge.
The complainants include mayor Paula Southgate.
