Anne Rodda resigns from AWRF


Press Release:

This is to advise that Anne Rodda has resigned from her position as General Manager of the Auckland Writers and Readers Festival. Anne has contracted to the festival since 2008, and has been instrumental in delivering growth strategies that have resulted in record levels of grants and sponsorships, and extended the festival’s audience. She has also delivered improvements to the quality of Board reports and developed important internal systems - she leaves the organisation in a stronger position not just financially, but also administratively.

Having completed a governance training course in 2011, Anne has been approached regarding commercial opportunities, and has decided it’s time to expand her experience.

Anne contracts to the festival part time, and has kindly agreed to continue with us until the end of the year, which will allow us time to recruit for the GM role, and ensure a smooth transition.

There will be a send-off for Anne in due course. In the meantime, I’m sure you will join me in thanking Anne, and in wishing her every success for this new stage in her career.
