10 <strong>Aktive</strong> <strong>Annual</strong> <strong>Report</strong> <strong>2015</strong>/20<strong>16</strong><br />
GOVERNANCE<br />
Mana whakahaere<br />
<strong>Aktive</strong> is governed by a six-member Board, chaired by<br />
Raewyn Lovett ONZM and supported by trustees Graham<br />
Child, Eru Lyndon, Peter Meehan, Helen Robinson and<br />
Jo Wiggins who all bring a wealth of sport, business<br />
and governance experience to the table.<br />
An audit and risk subcommittee, chaired by Peter Meehan,<br />
meets on a bimonthly basis, and a health & safety<br />
subcommittee, chaired by Jo Wiggins, meets quarterly.<br />
Strategy<br />
In <strong>2015</strong>/<strong>16</strong> <strong>Aktive</strong>’s board undertook a strategic review of the<br />
organisation. This concluded that <strong>Aktive</strong> is making a significant<br />
strategic impact by taking over responsibility for regional<br />
strategy, programmes, funding and stakeholder management,<br />
by offering a single point of contact for funders, and by playing<br />
a new role in aligning separate forms of investment to ensure<br />
that work programmes are maximised.<br />
Additionally, <strong>Aktive</strong> has launched initiatives that were<br />
previously undeveloped such as centralised shared services<br />
and procurement, along with targeted pilots such as HERA –<br />
Everyday Goddess and Good Sports and the establishment<br />
of cross-sector advisory groups.<br />
Stakeholders stated that <strong>Aktive</strong> is perceived well with regards<br />
to leadership and strategy – it is seen as enabling others in the<br />
sector to do better and has made great steps forward in terms<br />
of communication and coordination.<br />
20<strong>16</strong>/17 will see the co-creation of “The Auckland Approach to<br />
Community Sport”, which will set the operational blueprints for<br />
<strong>Aktive</strong>’s focus on:<br />
1. More Aucklanders More Active<br />
2. Stakeholder Alignment and Sector Development<br />
3. Spaces & Places<br />
Risk<br />
<strong>Aktive</strong>’s Board takes seriously its obligation to identify<br />
and manage potential risk to the organisation and the wider<br />
sector. A risk register and a health and safety report form<br />
part of every meeting agenda. <strong>Aktive</strong> has taken a lead role in<br />
adopting and providing a health and safety policy that meets<br />
the requirements of the health and safety legislation, and in<br />
ensuring its delivery partners understand their obligations.<br />
Communication<br />
The <strong>Aktive</strong> Board believes in fostering relationships<br />
and engagement through transparent communication<br />
with stakeholders and delivery partners.<br />
Regular meetings are held with the chairs of local RSTs,<br />
including reciprocal invitations to attend Board meetings.<br />
At a broader level, major stakeholders such as Sport New<br />
Zealand and Auckland Council regularly attend <strong>Aktive</strong> board<br />
meetings. Supplementing these two primary channels are<br />
one-on-one meetings with stakeholders along with the<br />
distribution of key stakeholder reports, papers and memoranda.<br />
