Olivia Martyn has been appointed by the NNC Board to the vacant appointed position vacated this year by Angela Ricker.

Angela has been on the board for the past 5 years and has been a real asset for her objective assessment of situations and her unbiased vision for netball.  She will be sorely missed but has made the decision to focus on other interests in these uncertain times.  I would like to take the opportunity to thank her personally for all the help she has given.

Olivia is a welcome addition to the board.  Olivia is originally from Waimea College and has played netball wherever she has been able to in her extensive working career in Senior business roles within the South East Asian region based mainly in NZ Australia and Malaysia.  She has helped to establish new clubs and worked to become involved with local competitions.

Olivia is coaching a Waimea College team and is on the Jacks Club committee. She offers the right mix of business acumen, passion and enthusiasm for netball and the community involvement to add considerable value to the board.

It is great to have the opportunity to test our level 2 protocols with twilight netball and to see people respectful of the constraints that we have in place.  We now need the weather to play its part so that we can continue playing the game we all love.

GARY COX - BOARD CHAIR
