Human Rights Commission - 'The 2015 Diversity Forum'
|
|
|
The
panel has been invited to attend
the 11th Annual New Zealand Diversity Forum, which
will be held at the Auckland
University of Technology on 9 September 2015. The Human Rights Commission is partnering
with AUT, NZ Police and Auckland
Council to bring
the major annual event
to Auckland and would like the panel to either setup a booth or present
at the forum.
The reason this item was not on the agenda is that the panel
was only advised of the forum after when the agenda was released and the
reason for urgency is because
the panel does not meet until November.
