It’s that time of the year again!
Come along to hear about what we have managed to achieve in the 2024/25 financial year, our goals for the future, and listen to our fantastic line-up of guest speakers.
There will be a catered lunch, as well as tea and coffee breaks – if you have any dietary requirements, please send us a message to admin@retina.org.nz so we can accommodate you.
This event will be held in person at the Blind Low Vision Offices in Wellington at 121 Adelaide Road, and via Zoom.
One very important piece of business that we need to cover at our AGM is the vote on our new Constitution.
Due to legislation changes under the Incorporated Societies Act 2022, we are required to re-register as an Incorporated Society by 1 April 2026.
Our membership voted in favour of the Committee beginning the re-registration process at the 2024 AGM. Now we are ready to take the next step, which is to ask our members to vote on changing our Constitution to reflect the changes required by law.
More information is available in the Voting Paper 2025 document, but if you have any questions please email admin@retina.org.nz.
We hope to see you there!
