At this BA5 event, Chief Executive Stephen Town will fill us in how Te Pūkenga (New Zealand Institute of Skills and Technology) is taking shape and what it means to our regions.  Stephen has held executive positions for over 20 years in tertiary education, local government, and transport.  He is former Chief Executive of Auckland Council.  Previous roles include leading the Franklin District and Tauranga City Councils, and Regional Director of NZTA in Northland/Auckland.  His first chief executive role was at the Wanganui Regional Community Polytechnic in 1994, making him the youngest CE in New Zealand at the time.
