Approval for
the Manurewa Local Board Chairperson to Attend the Inaugural Women in Politics
Annual General Meeting (AGM)
File No.: CP2016/00655
Purpose
1. Seeking approval for up to
$1,000 for travel costs for the Manurewa Local Board Chairperson to attend the
inaugural Women in Politics annual general meeting (AGM) being held on 8 March
2016 at Parliament to coincide with International Women’s Day.
Executive
Summary
2. The annual
general meeting commences at 5.30pm with members’ events organized for 4.30pm
and 6.15pm.
3. Women in Politics is an
incorporated society of elected women from local and central government in New
Zealand.
4. Women represent just 30% of local and central
government in New Zealand, and that figure has remained static for over a
decade.
5. Women in Politics want to
support women already in politics and improve women's representation in
politics in New Zealand by encouraging the future generation of women into a
life of politics.
6. The
organisation aims to:
i) inspire
and promote women to view politics as a career
ii) foster
a spirit of loyalty and support for members
iii) generate
public discussion and debate about women's place in political leadership.
7. The AGM is being held at
Parliament, Wellington. The Chairperson is seeking approval for travel costs
to attend the meeting. At this point the exact amount to travel is unknown but
it is anticipated that the amount would not exceed $1,000.
8. Please note the heading only
report on the 28 January 2016 agenda had an incorrect title. The initial
report title read: “Approval for the Chair to Attend Women in Local Government
AGM and Meeting”. The report title should have read: “Approval for the
Manurewa Local Board Chairperson to Attend the Inaugural Women in Politics
Annual General Meeting (AGM)”.

Recommendation/s
That the Manurewa Local Board:
a) approve up to $1,000 for travel
costs for the Chairperson to attend the inaugural Women in Politics annual
general meeting being held at Parliament on Tuesday, 8 March 2016.
