MESSAGE FROM SPORT NEW ZEALAND<br />

He pānui nō Sport New Zealand<br />

With the largest and most diverse<br />

population base in New Zealand<br />

the Auckland region offers a raft of<br />

unique opportunities and challenges in the<br />

sport and recreation space, which<br />

<strong>Aktive</strong> – Auckland Sport & Recreation,<br />

now in its second year of existence, is in<br />

a strong position to tackle head on.<br />

But in this complex environment, Sport New Zealand<br />

appreciates the effective leadership of the <strong>Aktive</strong> board,<br />

chaired by Raewyn Lovett, and the management team lead<br />

by CEO Sarah Sandley. <strong>Aktive</strong> has a crucial role to play in<br />

building connections across the sport and recreation sector<br />

in the Auckland region. From these connections Sport<br />

New Zealand wants to see more people getting out<br />

and being active and developing a life-long love of sport,<br />

which will also build a foundation from which we can identify<br />

and develop athletes ready to take on the world<br />

and be our heroes of the future.<br />

I commend <strong>Aktive</strong> for its efforts so far and encourage<br />

it to build on those in the year ahead.<br />

Peter Miskimmin<br />

Sport New Zealand<br />

Chief Executive
