Dear Not-For-Profit Leader
2020 has been an ‘interesting year’ and has really put the sector under even greater pressure to support communities that have struggled to cope. Many of our teams are tapped out, reserves are spent and yet the demand for help is unrelenting. We are wanting to support you and bridge the gap for inspiration and skills needed to thrive in 2021 and beyond.
We have gathered together a one-day programme that is truly inspirational with speakers who understand the sector, share a heart for community and have some breakthrough ideas that you can apply in your organisation almost immediately.
Nett proceeds from the 2021 Not-For-Profit Sector Summit will go directly to fund a deserving charity.
With your help, we can meet our goal of $10,000.

About the presenters
Aly McNicoll, Director NZ Coaching & Mentoring Centre/LEAD Centre for Not for Profit Governance & Leadership
Aly McNicoll has been involved with coaching and mentoring in NZ and Australia for the last 12 years with a particular interest in training. She has refined techniques for both introducing coaching as a skill set and promoting learning as a way of being in teams and organisations.
Aly is a regular presenter at international conferences (American Society for Training & Development Conference, European Mentoring & Coaching Council Conference) where her specialist skills in peer learning techniques have led to her spending increasing proportions of her time working with clients in Australia, the UK and the USA.
Aly is a member of the European Mentoring & Coaching Council and an international associate of Clutterbuck Associates (UK).
Prior to her corporate training role, Aly has led leadership and management programmes at Unitec Institute of Technology where she also spent 4 years training tutors in the staff development unit. She is also a qualified counsellor.
We have always said that leadership is a bit like swimming - you can only learn it by diving in and thrashing around. 2020 has thrown leaders in the deep end and provided a crash course in leading through complexity, change and uncertainty. Forget about being agile, we have needed something more radical this year - leaders who can move fast even if they have no idea where they are going. This keynote workshop will look at how leaders need to think differently, engage differently and act differently in this new normal, complex world. The challenges ahead are too big for individuals and the leaders who succeed will be those who can step out of their comfort zone, move from ‘me to we’, and inspire others to step up and deliver exceptional results.
Aly will present the keynote on Reinventing Leadership – simple habits for complex times
Helmut Modlik Kaiwhakahaere Matua| CEO Te Runanga o Toa Rangatira, Ora Toa PHO
A born and bred pā boy and part of the Arthur whānau, Helmut gets his fancy name from his German father who came to Aotearoa to build state houses in the 1950's.
Helmut was educated locally until the 4th form when he had the good fortune to head off to play his beloved sport - basketball - for Church College. While he says that his passion for basketball was possibly his real motivation, he surprised himself and his whānau by also managing to pass School Certificate, UE and Bursary while away at school.
Escaping GEC and Todd Motors in the 1980's, Helmut completed his BCA and MBA, which led him initially into accounting and finance, and then enabled him to transition into economic development (as the inaugural CEO of Poutama Trust) and management consulting. He also taught part-time for Te Wānanga o Raukawa for 14 years, ran his own management consultancy (Arrus Knoble Developments) for 12 years and has been a CEO specialising in change, growth, mergers and turnaround companies for the last 14 years.
Helmut says that he is a life-long serial entrepreneur and loves to create exciting new ventures. His current role (as our CEO) is the last job he will ever have as he is fiercely passionate about working to enhance the well-being, prosperity and mana of Ngāti Toa. He says this mahi is all he ever wants to do from now on.
Helmut has been married for 36 years to his wife Catherine and together they have 4 children who have blessed them with 11 moko and still counting. While everyone knows that he loves basketball...almost no one (other than Dr Annie Judkins at Ora Toa) knows that Helmut also has a love for poetry.
Helmut will present: Why Crown agencies can NEVER address inequalities without a fundamental reframing
David Gilchrist, UWA Business School Co-convenor, Not-for-profits UWA Co-convenor, Australian Studies Research Group
Over a career spanning 30 years, Professor David Gilchrist has held a number of senior roles in the Not-for-profit, commercial and public sectors. Most recently, he held the role of Assistant Auditor General in Western Australia and, prior to that, he taught accounting and finance at the London School of Economics and Portsmouth University in the UK as well as at Curtin University and Edith Cowan University in Australia. He was Foundation Director of the Curtin Not-for-profit Initiative for five years and held the position of Associate Dean of the School of Business at the University of Notre Dame Australia where he was adjunct professor of Not-for-profit Leadership. He is currently a Visiting Professor and Research Chief Investigator in NFP Studies at the NFPO Research Centre, Hebei GEO University, and Peoples’ Republic of China.
Professor Gilchrist has published widely as an academic and journalist, and is a principal author of a number of key national reports including the seminal report 'Australian Charities 2013' for the Commonwealth Government and the Australian National Disability Costing and Pricing Framework (2014). He is co-author of 'The Three Sector Solution' (2016) published by Australian National University Press, author of 'Imperial Theory: Colonial Pragmatism' (2017) published by Palgrave Macmillan, co-author of 'Public Sector Accounting, Governance and Accountability: Experiences of Australia and New Zealand' (2018) published by Routledge and co-author of 'Designing Impactful Collaboration' soon to be published by Australian National University Press.
If 2020 taught us anything it confirmed the importance - economically and socially - of the not-for-profit sector. It also demonstrated the resilience of a sector that is critical to maintaining many of the human services and cultural activities that define our communities. However, notwithstanding this importance, the ongoing sustainability of the not-for-profit and charitable sector is increasingly challenging and volunteer directors are at the decision-making centre of the whirlpool of competing policy, funding and practical realities. In this presentation, Professor David Gilchrist will examine what this means for volunteer directors in a practical sense, what they ought to consider in their decision-making processes and how they might respond to these challenges.
David Gilchrist will present the keynote Sustainability: Not-for-profits and volunteer directors
David Todd, Managing Director Synergia
David has worked in New Zealand, Australia and the United Kingdom on a wide range of issues looking for solutions to complex issues as diverse as mental illness, disability and suicide prevention. He has a strong belief that together is better and that by working together and harnessing each other skills, knowledge and experience 1 plus 1 can indeed make 3. David believes it is critically important that we move past opinions and bias to decisions that are grounded in theory and the evidence.
David Rees, Founding Partner, Synergia
David has worked across the public and private sectors both locally and overseas. Bringing insights to the organisational setting by helping individuals and groups improve their understanding of, and ability to change the systems within which they live and work, he places a great deal of emphasis on bringing together best evidence and broad engagement within a systems framework. He combines his extensive facilitation skills with a range of systems methods to help individuals and groups improve their understanding of the complex worlds within which they live and work, and their ability to design effective systems. Working with public and private sector clients and universities, David utilises qualitative and quantitative systems methods to guide his consulting and research work in the areas of health, social care and community development.
David is an Honorary Lecturer at the School of Population Health, University of Auckland and a Research Affiliate with the Centre for Sustainability at the University of Otago.
