Support Gemma Major to attend the Aspiring Leaders' Forum

Gemma Major has been invited to attend the 14th Aspiring Leaders' Forum, hosted in Wellington on 27-30 June 2019. The Aspiring Leaders’ Forum is an annual event that brings together a diverse group of committed and courageous young leaders from across Aotearoa New Zealand. Guided by facilitators and esteemed national leaders, selected young people will discuss leadership through a carefully articulated and varied four-day programme.

All nominated delegates and facilitators are required to raise funds towards their accommodation, meals and travel expenses. As a previous delegate of the Aspiring Leaders' Forum in 2012, I am coordinating the fundraising efforts to cover Gemma's expenses, as I believe she will find the excellent four-day programme to be extremely beneficial, along with the opportunity to meet up with other aspiring leaders across the country.
