Report from National Conference

Last weekend was the annual NZ Bridge National Conference, where the Board members and the regional chairpersons get together in Wellington. We hear about what other regions are doing, listen to presentations from the board, and discuss remits from clubs and/or regional committees.
The conference was very positive, with a strong emphasis from the board on openness and accountability. We heard about the draft strategic plan, Constitutional Review, Website and Masterpoints and a proposal on regional bridge development officers. Expect to be hearing more from the Board soon, asking for feedback from clubs on these proposals.
We also discussed the remits from the Taupo Bridge Club which were circulated a few months ago. After some slight amendments these were approved to send to the 2017 NZB AGM, Make sure you are at the AGM to have your views heard!
