[QUOTE="Maggie, post: 11238, member: 71"] I was absolutely flawed with some of the answers given. The last question from the floor was someone with an RMP audit who was having issue with variances from different auditors - he failed, then he did as requested, along came another audit for the final report and he failed on something totally different, and of course each time a different auditor rocks up he fails and it costs. The answer from MPI was basically a heap of bureaucratic gobbedly gook which did nothing to resolve the RMP holder's situation; which I am sure many with RMPs can relate to. I agree with this, but there is the opportunity with the review strategy to have a say in this. I can understand why any resolution must have the signatures of ten members, but i am thinking the time has passed and this needs to be reviewed. In some parts of NZ with low populations it could be difficult to get ten signatures, you would have to send your piece of paper all over the place to get ten signatures. It's made even more difficult when you often don't have any idea whether someone is an ApiNZ member. Also, there aren't many meetings at grass roots level (and I know Covid has exacerbated this situation). Like yourself I don't have an issue with the current board, but there must be the opportunity of processes for good debate and flow of info for all concerned. You just don't know when the situation might change - board members moving on, or lack of meetings at regional level that all members of the organisation can contribute to. [/QUOTE]
