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 />
