We have a couple of exciting news for you.
Karen and Andrew welcomed their precious bundle of joy last Saturday Ally Jeanne Murray. While both Karen and the baby is enjoying their time dad is on nappy duties. Congratulations to you both.
We welcome Toni to our team as the Business Development and Relationship Manager.
My name is Toni and I have joined the Chamber team as the Business Development and Relationship Manager to cover Karen’s maternity leave. Over the last 20 years I have worked in the event management, fundraising and the philanthropy space. While I am a trained architect, my real passion is people.
I have had the pleasure of working with some incredible individuals such as former US President Bill Clinton, former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani, as well as New Zealand greats Sir Edmund Hillary and Sir Colin Meads.
Outside of work I spend my time with my partner Mitch and our three dogs, and enjoy travelling, the outdoors and interior design. I am excited for my new role and I look forward to meeting you and getting to know all of our members.

Have a great fortnight!
