ABOUT THE FACILITATOR
The lead facilitator for this programme is Sandy Thompson from LEAD (www.lead.org.nz). A belief in the power of strong communities has led Sandy to pursue a career as a trainer, consultant and coach in the community and not for profit sector. She has been working and volunteering in the Not for Profit Sector since she was a volunteer youth leader in Whangarei in the 1970’s. Prior to becoming part of LEAD, Sandy was one of the team delivering the Unitec Graduate Diploma in Not for Profit Management, a role she took on after 10 years as the founding leader of the National Association for OSCAR.
Sandy’s experience as a leader in the not for profit sector, and her experience facilitating and mentoring other leaders, has led to her work providing values-based management and leadership support, organisation development based on strengths-based approaches (including appreciative inquiry), and the training of community facilitators and trainers.
Sandy works with boards and leaders from a wide range of organisations, both large and small, including those from the social services, faith-based, environment, arts, and migrant sectors. Knowing well the answer to every question is “it depends”, she helps leaders and boards to navigate through the complexity that is community leadership. Sandy has extensive experience working in the Pacific Islands and has a depth of experience working in cross cultural environments; and teaching others how to succeed when leading in cross cultural contexts.
Sandy’s current core voluntary roles are as a Trustee for ChildAlert an organisation that fights commercial sexual exploitation of children, and she is also the Pacific representative on ECPAT International who do the same work at an international level. Sandy is also co-chair of the Trust

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
