General Meetings & Board Elections

Chamber AGM, Board Elections & Annual Report

Tauranga Business Chamber is led by our members, for our members.

Each year, we hold an annual general meeting (AGM) to report to the members on what we have achieved in the previous year as well as our financial position.

It’s a great time to reflect on what we’ve delivered, and our plans to further support our members into the future.

Annual General Meeting 2025

As an incorporated society, the Chamber holds an annual general meeting (AGM) with our members to talk about the previous year’s deliverables, including financial performance, as well as talk about the year ahead.

While some formalities are involved, there is plenty of time to connect with others at this complementary event for members.

We recently held our AGM on 15 October 2025 at Cooney Lees Morgan, where we presented our annual report, welcomed our new Board members, and adopted our new constitution to re-register as an incorporated society.

Our Annual Report 2024/25

As an incorporated society, we prepare an annual report on what we’ve achieved during the financial year, as well as our financial statements. We present it to our members at our annual general meeting.

Our latest Annual Report for our financial year to 30 June 2025 was adopted at the AGM. Members can access our annual report either by visiting the incorporated societies register or by requesting it here.
