The NZCCSS Future Wellbeing Conference will be held at the University of Auckland. It will address questions such as: “How do we maintain our commitments to responding to need in our communities, help Whanau become stronger and New Zealand be a just and compassionate society? Should we be responding differently? How do we ensure our services are effective and sustainable?”

The conference is aimed at CEOs, managers, senior staff and board members of community based (NGO) social services from across New Zealand.

An optional day ‘Auckland Futures: Co-creating Auckland Social Futures’ will be held on 20 April 2012. This will provide an opportunity to talk directly with key influencers and policy makers to ensure their emerging social policies are fit for purpose in creating positive futures for all Aucklanders. The day will mix a range of themed workshops with one or two keynote speakers.
