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 3
