Sport Northland held its 2019 AGM recently, ending another successful year for the trust.
Current chairman Nigel Brereton was re-elected by the membership, while the other elected position went to Libby Jones. Both will serve a three-year term through until 2022.
Brereton is a partner in local accountancy firm Russell Turner and has been a board member since 2014. He was elected deputy chairman in 2016 and chairman in 2018 upon the retirement of long-standing trustee Chris Biddles.
Jones, who lives in Paparoa, was appointed as Kaipara District Council (KDC) councillor on the Sport Northland board in 2016.
However, she did not stand again as a councillor in the recent elections and as such, stood for the board through the elected process and was subsequently successful.
