Chair role change at Albert-Eden Local Board

Caryn Wilkinson Reporter from Central Leader

The Albert-Eden Local Board chair is set to change on May 22.

Lee Corrick will assume duties as chair and Margi Watson will become deputy chair.

Outgoing chair Margi Watson said it had been her privilege to serve the Albert-Eden communities.

"Over this duration we have achieved good outcomes for the area in spite of the challenges COVID-19 brought and I’m proud of the work we have done.

"... I'm looking forward to supporting Lee in her new role and continuing to work with her as deputy chair. "

It is not unusual for local boards to share roles throughout the three-year term, Auckland Council said.
