## Key Facts & Findings

- President: David Marshall (Katikati), newly elected; secretary Jo Millar; treasurer Lew Findlay; 7 zone reps.
- Membership contested 34k–90k across sources; all agree on decline from peak.
- Capitation ~15% below budget (Jan–May 2025) — financial urgency is real.
- Runs Grey Power Electricity and magazine — already understands affinity/commercial partnerships.
- Entry: new president's modernisation window; respect local association fee autonomy.

## Summary & Research Notes

Priority 2 PiP partner. New national president David Marshall (Katikati) elected at the recent AGM — BOP zone since 2015, national board 2020, national VP 2023. Board: Jo Millar (secretary), Lew Findlay (treasurer), seven zone reps. Membership contested: 34,272/68 associations (Waitākere GP reference) up to ~90,000/76 associations (Wikipedia); KB stakeholder profile says 50,000+ (doc-0380); reconcile via doc-0500. Capitation revenue ~15% below budget Jan–May 2025. Already operates commercial affinity deals (Grey Power Electricity, magazine) so partner-funded models are familiar. Local fee autonomy (e.g. Waitākere $35/household) must be respected. Offer: polling, policy explainers, digital renewal, public advocacy feed. Ask: national Grey Power area in Explore + 2-3 pilot associations. Entry: Marshall (new-president modernisation window); Millar for operations. Watch: federation endorsement doesn't bind autonomous associations.
