The AGM may be attended via Zoom. We will send Zoom access details — along with an agenda, and minutes of the previous AGM — by email to all NZSA members in Wellington.

With Covid still circulating, ventilation is one of our best tools for reducing risk. The Upper Chamber has good physical ventilation, and mechanical ventilation is also available. As always, we welcome anyone who chooses to wear a mask. If you are unwell, please stay home and attend the AGM by Zoom.
