Resignation of MNZ Board Member

10 September 2025 | All News

We wish to advise that Gretchen Pirika has resigned from her position on the Board, effective 12 September 2025.

We sincerely thank Gretchen for her time, energy, and commitment to our organisation.  Being a Board member, particularly in a voluntary capacity, can often be relentless and thankless.

Yet through Gretchen’s contribution, many important achievements have been made, some gradual and behind the scenes, but nonetheless vital to the progress of our sport.

We are grateful for all the Gretchen has given over the last five years, and she leaves with our genuine appreciation and best wishes for the future.
