            <title>MEMO: Auckland Branch Committee Disestablishment (1 reply)</title>

            <description><![CDATA[ MEMO<br />
<br />
TO: Members of Auckland branch Autism New Zealand Incorporated<br />
FROM: Wendy Duff, Autism New Zealand Incorporated<br />
DATE: 20th September 2009<br />
RE: Auckland Branch Disestablishment<br />
<br />
This memo is to advise you the Board of Autism New Zealand Incorporated held a special meeting on 14th September 2009 and resolved after much discussion to disestablish the Auckland Branch Committee under Rule 4.1 of the Rules of the Society.<br />
For some time now Auckland Committee has been expanding into new areas of working with families with children with ASD. This has now reached a point of difference where families in Auckland will be better served by having a clear delineation between what Autism New Zealand provides and the path the recent committee wish to follow.<br />
Autism New Zealand provides information and support to families/whanau and those working with people with ASD. The Board is aware that many new services are being offered and believes that families have a right to information that enables them to make their own choices. The Board however cannot endorse any services that are not yet fully recognised as having a significantly positive impact by the research community both here and overseas.<br />
Please be advised that Autism New Zealand will continue to honour all contracts and will be working closely with the committee and the staff in Auckland to ensure a smooth transition.<br />
The Board will appoint a new committee in the very near future. In the interim the Board will take over the governance role. The Board will be seeking nominations for members of a new committee in November and will keep you informed over this period.<br />
Please direct any queries you may have to either myself on <a rel="nofollow"  href="&#109;&#97;&#105;&#108;&#116;&#111;&#58;&#119;&#101;&#110;&#100;&#121;&#46;&#100;&#117;&#102;&#102;&#64;&#97;&#117;&#116;&#105;&#115;&#109;&#110;&#122;&#46;&#111;&#114;&#103;&#46;&#110;&#122;">&#119;&#101;&#110;&#100;&#121;&#46;&#100;&#117;&#102;&#102;&#64;&#97;&#117;&#116;&#105;&#115;&#109;&#110;&#122;&#46;&#111;&#114;&#103;&#46;&#110;&#122;</a> or Alison Molloy on <a rel="nofollow"  href="&#109;&#97;&#105;&#108;&#116;&#111;&#58;&#97;&#108;&#105;&#115;&#111;&#110;&#46;&#109;&#111;&#108;&#108;&#111;&#121;&#64;&#97;&#117;&#116;&#105;&#115;&#109;&#110;&#122;&#46;&#111;&#114;&#103;&#46;&#110;&#122;">&#97;&#108;&#105;&#115;&#111;&#110;&#46;&#109;&#111;&#108;&#108;&#111;&#121;&#64;&#97;&#117;&#116;&#105;&#115;&#109;&#110;&#122;&#46;&#111;&#114;&#103;&#46;&#110;&#122;</a><br />

Yours faithfully<br />

            <description><![CDATA[ I was just wondering if other people who were originally getting SIL (Supported Independent Living) are suddenly getting denied the services. I am really annoyed with this because I can't function in the community probably with out this. They didn't tell me why I can't get it now. I'm thinking of taking it to my local MP in Napier. Any one got any suggestions for me, so I can get what I need. <br />
<br />
Kind Regards <br />
