Geoff Booth for Wel Energy Trust
Hello,
I would appreciate just 1 of your votes.
I am the Principal of Puketaha school with a masters in Educational Leadership from the University of Waikato.
The last few months has rocked our equilibrium and as a result we have a unique opportunity to ensure that the Wel Energy Trust really delivers on the needs and aspirations of our community. It requires both a strategic approach and strong moral compass to achieve positive, tangible outcomes for our customers and region. I bring experience, Independence and can collaborate with anyone to drive such results in a fair and equitable manner.
Born, raised and educated in Hamilton, this place is home to my family, which includes my wife and two boys (11 and 9).
The many families I interact with daily provide me inspiration and energy to join a board that will be driven to support the Waikato Region's prosperity.
Thank you.
