Nominations and collaboration
Kia ora whanau
A big thanks to all the committee, volunteers and to all who attended last years festival. What a wonderful event with lots of sunshine wonderful music and whakawhanaungatanga!
So building on last years’ success, planning is now full steam ahead for the 2024 Wellington Folk Festival. Guest applications have now closed and the committee is working through selection process for this years’ exciting line-up!
The next major event is our AGM!
You are warmly invited to the Wellington Regional Folk Foundation AGM! Sunday 24th March at 2pm.
We will send a location notification shortly. For those that can’t attend in person we have zoom conference call arranged. The official notification is below.
Calling Nominees
Would you like to share your voice and mahi on our committee this year? Ask someone to nominate you! Nominees for committee need to agree to accept a nomination. If the nominee cannot attend the AGM, we will need their agreement to be nominated in writing and in advance. Please send nominations (or enquiries or expressions of interest) to me by replying to this email.
To vote at the meeting you need to have paid the annual membership subs ($1). Subs can be paid on the day at the start of the meeting – Preferably in cash.
Collaboration
Would you like to help out, but the idea of formal committee commitment doesn’t work for you?
We are also looking for folk who are willing to help out with planning, publicity, organisational or administrative tasks on the working groups during the year. There are many areas where you might offer your skills, special talent and magic powers!
Do you have an interest in areas such as, communication and marketing, managing and organising people tasks and rosters, project co-ordination, graphic design , music management, Website and IT skills, or are you an admin junkie? Would you like to help on the Youth Gathering? Let us know. We’d love to have you aboard! J
Last year we introduced Miro, an on-line collaborative whiteboard that lays out the whole festival onto a single canvas. Everyone can work in their own groups and see the whole festival at a glance. In the spirit of collaboration, we welcome nominees and volunteers to join in the fun!
We look forward to seeing you soon!
