The theme of the 2019 Community Boards Conference was "Community Boards in a Time of Change". Community Boards throughout New Zealand play a major role in supporting their communities and their Councils. This makes them an integral and vital cog in Local Government.
It was the twelfth Community Boards conference and took place from 11-13 April 2019 in New Plymouth.
