It’s great to be kicking off the new year, and my third month with Cystic Fibrosis NZ this week. It’s such a privilege to have been welcomed so warmly into the CFNZ family.
The team have been taking me on a journey learning about the intricacies of CF and I can already see the depth of resilience this community has. As I get to know you personally, I know you will all have an important role in helping me understand what CF looks like day-to-day, how it affects you, your families, whānau and wider community.
I’m excited about shaping our path forward for CFNZ and leading us into the future. Putting our CF community at the heart of everything we do will be a priority and I’m committed to supporting and improving quality of life for all people affected by cystic fibrosis. Together our success I believe, will come from communication, relationships, courage, and resilience as we navigate this next phase together.
We are here for you, it’s important to me and our team that we are listening to our community and responding to your needs. My door is always open.
Warmest wishes,
Lisa Burns
Chief Executive
