Aktive Summary Annual Report 2015/16

10 Aktive Summary Annual Report 2015/2016
GOVERNANCE
Mana whakahaere
Aktive is governed by a six-member Board, chaired by
Raewyn Lovett ONZM and supported by trustees Graham
Child, Eru Lyndon, Peter Meehan, Helen Robinson and
Jo Wiggins who all bring a wealth of sport, business
and governance experience to the table.
An audit and risk subcommittee, chaired by Peter Meehan,
meets on a bimonthly basis, and a health & safety
subcommittee, chaired by Jo Wiggins, meets quarterly.
Strategy
In 2015/16 Aktive’s board undertook a strategic review of the
organisation. This concluded that Aktive is making a significant
strategic impact by taking over responsibility for regional
strategy, programmes, funding and stakeholder management,
by offering a single point of contact for funders, and by playing
a new role in aligning separate forms of investment to ensure
that work programmes are maximised.
Additionally, Aktive has launched initiatives that were
previously undeveloped such as centralised shared services
and procurement, along with targeted pilots such as HERA –
Everyday Goddess and Good Sports and the establishment
of cross-sector advisory groups.
Stakeholders stated that Aktive is perceived well with regards
to leadership and strategy – it is seen as enabling others in the
sector to do better and has made great steps forward in terms
of communication and coordination.
2016/17 will see the co-creation of “The Auckland Approach to
Community Sport”, which will set the operational blueprints for
Aktive’s focus on:
1. More Aucklanders More Active
2. Stakeholder Alignment and Sector Development
3. Spaces & Places
Risk
Aktive’s Board takes seriously its obligation to identify
and manage potential risk to the organisation and the wider
sector. A risk register and a health and safety report form
part of every meeting agenda. Aktive has taken a lead role in
adopting and providing a health and safety policy that meets
the requirements of the health and safety legislation, and in
ensuring its delivery partners understand their obligations.
Communication
The Aktive Board believes in fostering relationships
and engagement through transparent communication
with stakeholders and delivery partners.
Regular meetings are held with the chairs of local RSTs,
including reciprocal invitations to attend Board meetings.
At a broader level, major stakeholders such as Sport New
Zealand and Auckland Council regularly attend Aktive board
meetings. Supplementing these two primary channels are
one-on-one meetings with stakeholders along with the
distribution of key stakeholder reports, papers and memoranda.
