On Wednesday 18 March we welcomed His Worship The Mayor Of Wellington, Andrew Little as our guest speaker. In front of a sell out crowd he spoke about the challenges facing the city outlining each of the major issues.
At the conclusion of his speech President Roy Fergusson put a series of preselected questions. These were comprehensively and to the satisfaction of most in the audience.
Andrew Little is focused on making Wellington more affordable, vibrant, inclusive, and a place where everyone can get ahead. We are fortunate to have him as mayor especially given his experience as a member of parliament and senior cabinet minister.
