The Chair
acknowledged the retirement of Jane Tongatule from her position as General
Manager of the Greater East Tamaki Business Association and read the following
statement:
Jane joined GETBA in early 2010, upon
the association’s transition to a target-rate funded organisation. Tasked
with taking the association to the next level, she rebranded and introduced new
systems, services and activities to support the larger membership base of over
2,000 business and property owners.
Jane has been responsible for driving
the strategic execution of the association’s plans; and has done this
impeccably.
Jane oversaw exceptional support for the
businesses in her organisation during and after the COVID 19 lockdowns.
I, along with previous chairpersons and
board members of the Howick Local Board have enjoyed an excellent working
relationship with Jane due to her commitment, knowledge, and professionalism;
and the way she has carried out her role.
I am sure the Board joins me in wishing
Jane good health and happy times in her retirement.
