The CFNZ Board wishes to announce internal changes following the recent resignation of CE Lisa Burns.

Lisa has contributed a huge amount of energy to CFNZ and the CF community during her time as CE, she has taken the organisation to new places and has seen through major projects in that time. We thank her and wish her well in her next venture.

We will not be looking for a new Chief Executive until the new year, and in the meantime we are really pleased that Simone Brown will lead the day-to-day operations of the organisation. She will ensure stability and strength for the team and will offer a steady hand during this transition period.

Simone’s title for the next few months will be Executive Lead of CFNZ. If you have any questions during this time please don’t hesitate to contact Simone.

Warm regards

Dame Pieter Stewart, Board Chair, and the CFNZ Board.
