Kia Ora Koutou,

As many of you will know, Tomo has gone to Japan in order to receive treatment for cancer. In his absence, Isabella has agreed to step up to fill the team leader vacancy we have at the moment to ensure the team’s leadership and basic day-to-day mechanics are uninterrupted. This will be for an initial period of three months. We will assess at the conclusion of this time the team’s ongoing need and Tomo’s plans around his return to work. In the meantime, I am very grateful to Isabella for stepping in at short notice and fully confident in her ability to lead and contribute to our team in this role. Isabella will keep her coordinating role in marketing and engagement as well as her NZLPP obligations.

Simon.
