We want to have a conversation with you about a relationship agreement between the sector and government - What do YOU think?

The Minister for the Community and Voluntary Sector, Hon Tariana Turia, will be hosting a forum on 11 November in Wellington. This forum represents an important opportunity for the sector, Ministers and government agencies to demonstrate their willingness to work collaboratively towards a relationship agreement.

In the forum we will be asking participants to discuss the following questions:

1. What elements should be in a relationship agreement? i.e. common goals? rights and responsibilities?

2. Who is involved in the relationship agreement? i.e. who does it belong to? who is going to lead?

3. How do we get there? i.e process?

4. How do we want it to work? i.e. accountability?

We want to take back your ideas and discussion points back to the forum and include it in the forum discussion! Tell us what you think!!!
