Our People

Staff: Kia ora koutou. My name is Rob Gray and I’m the manager here at Waimarie. I love to bring people together and play a part in strengthening them for the journey. Contact me at manager@waimarie.org or call 07 9294879.

Let me introduce you to Jillian Thompson-Jackson. Jillian’s our administrator but she’s certainly not behind the scenes! She loves to offer manaakitanga to our community and ensure that a positive experience is had by all.

Jane Landman is now our finance manager having spent 20 years managing Waimarie. Her experience and know-how is valued by us all! When she’s not caught up in the books you’ll see her sorting out the other books.

Guy Driscoll has volunteered with us for years but we’ve now employed him as our IT specialist and database king. Guy loves to problem solve and make things better than they were.

Our Board: Our board, ratified by members at the AGM in November 2022, currently consists of (left to right):

Steve Cantwell – Chair

Kavita Singh

Seluvaia Pouono – Treasurer

Angie Apiata

Jan Callinan – Secretary
