I believe it is time that Community was put back into the Raglan Community Board. I am standing as an independent candidate, with long−standing experience in business management and community projects, who is willing to work with any board members that share my goal for putting Community back into the Raglan Community Board and doing the best for Raglan Whaingaroa. For more information and to participate in an online discussion, please visit: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Rodger−for−Raglan/148607651831538 I am Chair of Raglan Community Arts Council; involved with the Raglan Museum; and the new building and conservation work at the Raglan Old School Arts Centre. After several years of running a business consultancy engaged by major global clients, I have now focussed my attention locally through my new business, The Raglan Website. I have a Bachelor of Engineering (Electrical) and membership of the Institution of Engineering & Technology.
