Feedback sought on ENM's direction

What's Happening Right Now
November 12, 2026

Rebecca Bell has led ENM as the Chair for the past four years, and has been instrumental in developing critical strategic plans (including the draft we are seeking your input on today), building strong governance practices, holding space for sustainable development, enabling SRK Taiao Trust to launch, and negotiating key partnerships to enable increased service delivery. We acknowledge the strong position ENM is in as she moves on to other things.

I'm pleased to inform you of the results of the AGM Board Elections and the appointment of roles at the first Board meeting:

  • Siobhan Karaitiana, Chair
  • Nelson Harper, Deputy Chair
  • Kendall Palmer, Treasurer
  • Sajani Dissanayake, Youth Rep (will be stepping down to head to university soon, if you know any other young people interested in participating, let me know).
  • Sivee Chawla
  • Arunee Srichantra
  • Jean Hera
  • Heather Meikle

An early task for the new Board is to adopt a Strategic Plan for 2027-2030. As always, the aim is for ENM's work to benefit and enhance our members, so we'd love you to take a look at the attached draft and provide your insights to ENM's direction over the next three years.
