From our Chair

Kia ora ANCAD friends,
Since March 2021, the ANCAD Board has faced the challenge of accepting
Yvonne Powley’s resignation and the search for a new manager. The legacy
Yvonne leaves after 13 years in the job is immense.
The former NSCSS was a forgotten and almost irrelevant entity. Now
ANCAD, the successor, has huge community credibility and value to the
not-for-profit sector. This is Yvonne’s work endorsed and supported by an
ANCAD Board of talented and knowledgeable volunteers.
We extend our warmest best wishes and thanks to Yvonne for her service.
On all fronts, ANCAD projects carry on under the management of our
skilled staff. We have welcomed Simon Ritchie to the team to manage 5
Good Ideas and publications. Simon will pick up other project tasks as they
arise. He is a great asset to the team.
The strong reputation we have in the governance and NFP sector is                 BRIAN PUTT
demonstrated by the invitation for ANCAD to assist and guide two new          CHAIR, ANCAD BOARD
Council projects.
First, a review of the old Civil Defence model and focussing it to achieve
a community base. With the Devonport-Takapuna Local Board, we are
involved in the early planning of the Community Resilience Planning
Project. Join in and come to the initial meeting at the Mary Thomas Centre
on 21 April 2021. This is a truly community project.
Second, is a Strategic Relationship Pilot Project to help the Council
strengthen its insights and relationships within the NFP sector across the
region. Much more on this as the year rolls out.
Keep well and safe,
Brian Putt
Chair, ANCAD Board

Five Good Ideas
ANCAD’s training programmes for community groups and the not-for-profit sector

developing and strengthening leadership and supporting you and your
team to be adaptive and resilient in a changing environment.

ANCAD brings in qualified consultants to mentor your Managers, CEOs
and Governance Board/Committee members, trustees, directors; indeed,
anyone working in the community who would benefit in various aspects
of capability building from good governance, leadership, fundraising,

of issues pertaining to management and governance. Key areas continue to
be: Legal Responsibilities for Boards; the different roles and responsibilities
in Governance and Management; Leadership; Strategic Planning; Financial
Management and Preparing Strategic Organisational Budgets.

Critical Incident Stress Management Awareness:
Group Crisis Intervention
2 Day Intensive Training

 The CISM Group Crisis Intervention training programme presents the core elements of a
 comprehensive, systematic and multi-component crisis intervention curriculum. This two-day
 course prepares participants to understand a wide range of crisis intervention services
 including:
   •    Pre- and post-incident crisis education
   •    Crisis intervention for individuals
   •    Small group defusing and debriefing
   •    Demobilization and crisis management briefings after small & large-scale
        traumatic incidents

 This establishes the theoretical basis behind Critical Incident Stress management as
 well as the need for appropriate follow-up services and referrals. The course
 highlights the difference between internationally- accepted protocols in the area of
 post-incident support (and prepares individuals to provide these interventions) and
 therapeutic intervention.
