The challenges (and opportunities) facing the Howick Local Board in 2023
Damian Light is the Chair of the Howick Local Board, responsible for decision-making on local issues, activities, and services such as libraries, parks and community programmes. Before being elected in October 2022, Damian worked for over 15years in process improvement and business performance.
He is a member of the NZ Institute of Directors and has served on a range of boards including local community groups, charitable organisations, and commercial businesses. With over 150,000 residents to serve, the nine members of the Local Board face tough decisions this year as Auckland Council’s financial challenges mean reductions in funding - how do we do more with less?
