Join us for Canterbury Branch’s 42nd Annual General Meeting, followed by insights from Oliver Mander on how we can reimagine AGMs.
Annual general meetings (AGMs) should be a pinnacle event for companies and charities—showcasing achievements, engaging stakeholders, and eyeballing leadership to hold them accountable.
Yet, many AGMs have lost their appeal, becoming stale, overly formal, and poorly attended. Attempts at modernisation, such as hybrid formats or even premium catering, have failed to revive their relevance or boost participation.
Join Oliver Mander, CEO of the NZ Shareholders Association (NZSA) and an experienced advocate for governance best practices, as he shares his reflections on how AGMs can once again inspire and connect. Drawing on his experience and first-hand "war stories" from New Zealand’s listed company AGMs, Oliver will offer practical insights to reimagine AGMs as compelling, must-attend events for shareholders and stakeholders alike.
The 42nd Annual General Meeting of the Canterbury Branch of the Institute of Directors will be held at the beginning of the evening and include the election of branch committee members for 2025. The AGM agenda will be circulated in early February 2025.
Oliver brings a broad suite of leadership and functional experience to the NZSA, with a corporate career spanning strategic planning, implementation, technology, digital and finance functions. His strength is as a strategic thinker, focused on transformative solutions, developing, and implementing business strategies so that they come to life for organisations. At heart – he loves to solve problems!
Oliver has previously worked for Wellington Water, Chorus and BP Group. He has had a long-held interest in New Zealand equity markets and investment, having appeared as a regular columnist in the NZ Herald. During his tenure at NZSA, the organisation has continued to expand its role as a voice for all investors and a champion for best-practice governance structures.
Oliver lives in Wellington, is married to Gillian and is father and stepfather to three twenty-somethings. He is enjoying himself immensely as CEO of the NZ Shareholders’ Association and is looking forward to maintaining the strong reputation that NZSA has created amongst the retail investor community.
