nz branch conference POSTPONEDDear MLAANZ member, friend or guest, in light of the COVID-19 global pandemic, we have made the difficult decision to postpone our MLAANZ conference March 26-27, 2020, Wellington. The NZ Government and many of our workplaces are not supporting large gatherings at this time and we feel it’s important to ensure that we are in line with these recommendations. Above all, it’s our priority to keep all of our members safe. As yet, we cannot fix another date but we will keep you posted with a new invitation as soon as we can.
All registration fees will be refunded in due course. Wishing you and your families well during this time and our MLAANZ committee will look forward to catching up with you all soon. Cheers Hamish Fletcher NZ Branch chair
