Sports governance is one of the most vital pillars supporting New Zealand’s thriving sports culture. At every level—international, national, regional, and local—sporting organisations play a crucial role in shaping how communities engage with sports, develop talent, and ensure sustainable operations.
However, the sector is facing a complex array of challenges. From navigating funding and compliance issues to promoting inclusivity and adapting to rapidly changing digital landscapes, these challenges may differ in scale but remain universal in nature.
To explore these pressing issues and share valuable insights, we invite you to join us for an engaging and thought-provoking panel discussion featuring some of the most respected voices in sports governance.
