From our General Manager
It is a pleasure to join ANCAD as the new General Manager. I hope to build
on the strong legacy of community development and capability that has
been so well supported by community organisations across Auckland
and by the generosity of our funders. The delivery of ANCAD’s services is
carried out by our small, but dedicated, staff team. ANCAD’s experienced
Board and Chairperson Brian Putt, provide constant support to the work
of ANCAD.
My background is rooted in the community and non-profit sector in the
United Kingdom and New Zealand over the last 25 years, mainly at board
and executive level. I am currently studying for a Master’s in Public Policy
at the University of Auckland. I enjoy developing strong and resilient
organisations, with a focus on long term financial sustainability and
effective strategic development, with practical initiatives that benefit the
community.
ANCAD programmes offer support in a variety of ways. For example, the
Community Accounting programme in Auckland and Aotearoa, professional FIONA BRENNAN
development for staff and board through the Five Good Ideas programme, GENERAL MANAGER
administrative and accounting support for community organisations, fiona@ancad.org.nz
Safer Whanau and Family Violence Prevention Network, are a few of our 0800 426 223
current initiatives. (0800 4ANCAD)
Thanks to the support of our local board and Auckland Council we have
recently had the opportunity to carry out a programme of community
meetings to assess and strengthen community readiness and resilience in
our local areas, to respond to various hazards and emergencies. One of
the objectives is to develop and maintain local community plans which
identify local support and assets which may be utilised in specific hazards
or local emergencies. We are grateful for the expert advice of Auckland
Emergency Management who have conducted several workshops. Don’t
miss the Cyclone Scenario workshop taking place at the Mary Thomas
Centre on Thursday 3rd June.
We are delighted to receive our Living Wage accreditation for another
year and MSD level four social sector accreditation. Massey University
Business School recently received international accreditation with AACSB
International under the innovation category for its partnership with ANCAD
via our Auckland Community Accounting programme. AACSB provides
quality assurance and accreditation to business schools worldwide.
It is wonderful to see so many events and workshops highlighted in this
month’s Community Connections. Please do continue to share your events
and activities with us. We love hearing from you.
I look forward to meeting more of our community partners and stakeholders
over the coming weeks and keeping you informed of our activities and
developments.

During the past 4 years LEAD has been providing exceptional training
for leadership in the not for profit sector, with one day and part day
workshops and ongoing coaching and mentoring, to support growth in
skills, knowledge and confidence.
The course MANAGING & LEADING COMMUNITY ORGANISATIONS is offered as an on line
course and the next one runs from the 2nd July until the end of August this year. The content of the
course is very much shaped by the participants identifying their leadership development goals and
provides a breadth of material via a moodle site. Meeting other community leaders via the zoom
sessions is a highlight of the course and building networks, sharing experiences and challenges,
and finding new ways to approach the leadership space all have been immensely beneficial to
participants as indicated in their learning journals.
TOPICS INCLUDE:
• Creating and understanding the bigger picture
• Being a mindful leader, and how our management and leadership impacts on others
• Building a strong team
• Leading sustainable organisations
• Working creatively in the face of ongoing change and complexity
• How to create real change for our communities
“This course has been inspirational…it makes me feel like its possible to be more intentional about
how I lead and work.” Melissa Ansell-Bridges NZCTU National Secretary.
Please contact hilary@lead.org.nz for more information, and to register.
LEAD runs other quality workshops for leaders and organisations, including Governance, Virtual
facilitation, Coaching and Mentoring. To see the full range of what is offered go to https://www.
