Auckland Branch is always looking for new speakers for our meetings. As our membership is far reaching and many of our members belong to other groups who have speakers at their meetings, we ask that if you hear someone speak whom you think would be good to have at an Auckland Branch meeting please gather their contact details and pass them on to the Branch Secretary; Andrea at auckland@gsa.org.nz or phone her on 0800 888 472.
