Today we welcomed three new board members to the Fincap whānau.

Sally Morrison is an accomplished leader with a proven record of driving governance excellence and positive change across complex organisations and communities. Her career spans health, public service and sport and is underpinned by a strong commitment to equity and inclusion.

Her appointment to the FinCap Board reflects her passion for strengthening financial capability and wellbeing for whānau and communities across Aotearoa.

Mel Harrington is a purpose-driven leader with over 24 years in the public service, complemented by extensive governance experience in the NGO sector across youth, housing, education, employment and health. Mel's career reflects a deep commitment to kaupapa driven work that creates lasting impact - work that grows people, strengthens communities, and drives equity.

Anika Forsman is Director Stakeholder and Communications at Te Ara Ahunga Ora Retirement Commission, where she leads the National Strategy for Financial Capability. She coordinates cross sector action with more than 900 partners nationwide.

The addition of these three wāhine brings our governance board to a total of 9.

FinCap has a strong, positive, and constructive culture within our Board and works collectively to make a real difference to financial wellbeing for whānau, family and communities through supporting free financial mentoring across Aotearoa New Zealand.

The core of our strategic focus for the next three to five years is Te Tāpapa, the implementation of a framework for a professionalised financial mentor workforce, and sustainable funding for financial mentors and the financial mentoring sector.
