We're pleased to provide the June 2016 issue of our twice-yearly magazine, Pulse. You can download it from our website here.
In this issue we have:
> three of the stories behind some of the awards we announced at our Gala Dinner in April - the creation of Hamilton Gardens (the Supreme Award winner), Nicola Chrisp's career journey (our Emerging Leader of the Year) and Dunedin City Council's winning team from the New Zealand leg of the Australasian Management Challenge.
> a reminder that our membership rules have changed, effective 1 July - find out how that could benefit you.
> an article on the wonderful 45 South Branch's Wanaka Retreat last January and a promotion for the Top of the South's Marlborough Colloquium next January.
> a story about Westland District Council's Chief Executive, Tanya Winter's experiences at the Mt Eliza Melbourne Business School - Tanya was the recipient of one of our 2015 Leadership Scholarships.
> an article on SOLGM's initiatives around future leadership - timely given our Annual Summit's theme this year - "Inspiring Leadership".
As well there's some valuable information in articles provided by our partner organisations and full list of our events and activities right through to June 2017 - we've got a busy year planned.
