Introduction

It’s great to be here for Sport New Zealand’s annual sport and recreation conference.

I’d like to acknowledge Sir Paul Collins and Peter Miskimmin, and all of the other Chairs and CE’s here today. I’d also like to acknowledge the other speakers, including Lieutenant General Tim Keating who’ll be up next to talk about NZDF leadership.
