The General Practice Owners Association is pleased to announce the successful conclusion of its Annual General Meeting (AGM), during which members reaffirmed their confidence in the current board of directors.
“The reappointment of board members signals a strong vote of confidence in the company’s strategic direction and leadership,” says Dr Angus Chambers, Chair of GenPro.
“Board stability is a cornerstone of effective governance, and GenPro is proud to maintain a cohesive leadership team delivering consistent results.”
Board members Dr Mary English and Dr Stephanie Taylor were re-elected for three-year terms. Board members partially through their terms who remain on the board are Dr Angus Chambers, Dr Vicky Jones, Dr Mark Peterson, Michelle Te Kira, and Bethan Rajwer. Supplementing the skills of the board is co-opted board member Dr Hiria Nielsen. The roles of Chair and Deputy Chair will be decided at the first board meeting in November.
“With deep institutional knowledge and a shared commitment to the sector’s long-term growth, the Board is well-positioned to continue driving improvements to the sustainability of general practice, innovation in primary healthcare, and upholding the values that define the association’s success,” says Dr Chambers.
The AGM, which was held virtually, was addressed by Minister of Health Simeon Brown, who expressed his appreciation for GenPro’s active advocacy and acknowledged the dedication of its members to the health and wellbeing of New Zealanders. He emphasised the critical role of primary care in achieving national health targets, particularly noting the two-year immunisation target, which has shown the most significant improvement among all health indicators.
