In 2019, Wellington's local government scene got an injection of youth, with a number of fresh-faced new leaders being elected in various parts of the greater Capital region.
IPANZ New Professionals invites you to meet some of the Gen Z and Millennial councillors who are raising the voice of future generations to help shape the region's future and to hear about the challenges they have faced being leaders in an area of public service that has historically struggled to attract interest from younger generations. Bring your burning questions to this breakfast panel session hosted by Russell McVeagh with a line-up that won't disappoint, including Hutt City Mayor Campbell Barry (the youngest Mayor in New Zealand's history), Kāpiti Coast District Councillor Sophie Handford (2019 Wellingtonian of the Year and nationwide School Strike for Climate organiser), and Porirua City Councillor (and Russell McVeagh solicitor) Josh Trlin.
Attendees are invited to arrive at Russell McVeagh for a buffet breakfast from 7.15am, with the panel session to run from approximately 7.30am – 8.30am, followed by an opportunity for networking.
