2 national Greypower mAGAZINE » june 2016 Retirement living and care at its very best! Each of Ryman’s 30 retirement villages nationwide has its own distinctive personality and friendly, vibrant community. Our Ryman villages include stunning independent living, beautiful serviced apartments and the very best of resthome care. Most of our villages also provide hospital and dementia care. With resort-style living, the hardest part of your day will be deciding what to do. Take a dip in the indoor heated pool, a stroll around the village gardens, join in the ever-popular Ryman Triple A exercise programme, or simply relax and enjoy a chat with friends over coffee. At Ryman Healthcare we firmly believe in protecting the interests of our residents. We pride ourselves on offering some of the most resident-friendly terms in New Zealand, which we have developed over the past 30 years.

national Greypower mAGAZINE » june 2016 3 Presidents’ report: It has been a time of change on the federation’s board with my election to the presidency, the election of Mac Welch to the vice-presidency and the election of Christina Humphries to replace Mac as Zone Three Representative. The new team has some very important challenges ahead and we have made an early start. We have also lost our immediate past president Terry King and Zone Six representative Miles Jackson from around the board table and their combined background knowledge of Grey Power matters will be hard to replace. After six years Miles decided it was time to concentrate on home issues with his Rangiora Association. We have also made an early start on developing our core issues in the lead up to the general election next year. This year the board has decided to change the way we appoint National Advisory Groups and Standing Committees. We have abolished some, amalgamated others and appointed only the chairs, leaving them to appoint their own committees with a limit of three in most cases. Most chairs are now board members for ease and efficiency of com- Tom O’Connor munication and we have also reduced the Executive Committee to the four national office holders; President, Vice- President, Treasurer and Secretary. This committee will in fact have very little to do as modern technology now allows the entire board to deal with any emergency issues which may arise between formal meetings. It is my intention, as far as possible, to include everyone in all decision making. The SuperGold card free off peak travel issue is taking up a lot of our time and we are working at several political levels to ensure the original intention of the free travel scheme in maintained. The Government has signalled an intention to cap the cost at $28 million for the next five years which would not take into account the predicted increase in the number of people qualifying in of the SuperGold card over that that time. We have also made an early start on developing our core issues in the lead up to the general election next year. The membership has decided that the three issues will be elective surgery, local body rates affordability and maintaining the value of national superannuation. We have yet to fine tune those issues into details we can take to politicians as they formulate their manifestos for next year. I have been humbled by the number of invitations to attend association Annual General Meetings but, with so many associations it will not be possible to attend very many. I have however made a commitment to attend all seven zones meetings in my first year if possible. My first visit was to Zone Four in Palmerston North in May. There was a very useful and lively debate on new board directions and it was very valuable for me to hear at first hand the issues and developments they were involved in.
