Speakers

This is going to be a firist for our meetings - A live stream with a real economist where we can ask questions!

We'll have all the Mayoral Candidates in one place so you can ask them questions ahead of the local body election in October.
We'll compile a list of questions to ask them. Please forward any specific questions to Katrina/President so we can add them to the list.

1. Why is it important for Council and Rotary to collaborate?

Manaaki Ability Trust (once known as Hutt Valley Disabled Resources Trust) have been in the business of supporting those with Intellectual Disabilities since 1981. Originally operating sheltered workshops, Manaaki's focus has changed over the years and they now support and enable those with intellectual disabilities to live independent fulfilling lives, including opportunities for volunteering and employment. Programme Manager, Louisa Kelly, will be sharing some key objectives and success stories, as well as highlight some of the barriers that their clients face in finding employment.

Rotaract is a perfect lead on for RYLA attendees it provides an affordable membership to a younger audience. Members usually progress and join a Rotary Club later.

 

Ben is keen to present to our Club and to find opportunities for his team to work alongside us on projects.
