Change in Directors at the Y

Tony Jones of Tauranga was elected as President of YMCA New Zealand (Tony was previously the National Vice President).  Russell Leech of Timaru was elected National Treasurer (Russell is the outgoing National President).  Simon Collett of Tauranga and Joe Kennedy of Nelson were elected as Directors, joining Peter Barrett of Wellington and Michael Weusten of Invercargill on the National Board.  Rowan McGregor of Wanganui stood down after serving two years on the National Board and Helen McEwan of Nelson stood down after ten years as a National Board member - most of those as National Treasurer.  Both Rowan and Helen will remain active on the Board of their local YMCA and Helen is also currently the Treasurer of the World Alliance of YMCAs - a position she was elected to last year.  YMCA New Zealand is grateful for the selfless service provided by Rowan and Helen.
