Waikato Region Annual General Meeting 2018
Meeting Minutes

Doreen from Forest Lake Gardens has written this short article re the interaction between Metlifecare management and their villages Residents Associations Committee Chairs 
Residents of Metlifecare villages are very fortunate to have an annual conference where the chairpersons of each village Residents Association come together for two days of sharing knowledge and ideas.
Day One is spent with the  Metlifecare  senior Executives, who deliver presentations on various aspects within Metlifecare. A dinner is then provided at a village so that they all have an opportunity to experience a different village.
In the morning of Day Two a Chairpersons only session is held, to raise and discuss topics of interest and concern to residents.
Each topic is then discussed, noting comments and improvements.
They are then joined by the CEO and General Manager of Operations who are given a review of the mornings proceedings. It is pleasing to note how positive their reaction to the chairpersons session is received, the
suggestions taken on board, and action to effect change progressed.   For
instance, stopping the weekly fee when a unit is vacated and keys returned
irrespective of what the contract states.   These conferences are invaluable
to the chairpersons and residents and we applaud Metlifecare for the opportunity given.
