Invitation to "Wellington: Creating Tomorrow" Forum, 4 July 2019
As Chair of the Forums Committee of Rotary Club of Wellington, I invite you to the "Wellington: Creating Tomorrow" Forum, 12.15pm to 5.30pm, Thursday 4 July 2019 in the Renouf Foyer, Michael Fowler Centre.
For eight years, the Rotary Forum has provided an opportunity for people to come together and share their ideas on a range of topics from security and privacy through to lessons for Wellington from the Christchurch earthquakes. In the last two years, we have invited some of New Zealand’s most innovative thinkers to talk on the theme "Wellington: Impossible Dreams".
This year we’ll build on that success by inviting more inspiring speakers to share their ideas on "Wellington: Creating tomorrow". The Forum will also include ‘communities of interest’ among participants, providing them with opportunities to engage, collaborate and co-create their Wellington (city and region) of the future.
We've attracted some of Wellington's leading government decision-makers (like Grant Robertson, MP for Wellington Central, who will talk about the implications of the Wellbeing Budget, and Chloe Swarbick, MP); Iwi and business leaders (like Wayne Mulligan,CEO Fomana Capital Ltd and Port Nicholson Block Settlement Trust and Anake Goodall, former CEO of Te Rūnanga o Ngāi Tahu); advocates (like Sophie Handford, organiser of the recent #SchoolStrike4Climate); policy planners (like Moana Mackey, the Chief Advisor to the Chief City Planner at Wellington City Council); youth leaders (like Tamatha Paul, President VUW Students' Assn); and Dr Sarb Johal, Psychologist and disaster mental health expert.
