As an organisation, we are promoting the role of celebrants and the vital service they can provide in contemporary NZ society. We are taking steps to remedy this but clearly there is strength in numbers and we would welcome your involvement in helping to raise awareness and becoming part of a vibrant professional association.
As President, I bring to my role a very clear vision of the contribution celebrants make in helping individuals, families, organisations and society articulate what matters most in their lives. As Johann Wolfgang von Goethe. reputedly said, "The things that matter most must never be at the mercy of things that matter least". Celebrants are at the forefront of this endeavour!
You are welcome to contact me with any queries and I will undertake to find you answers within our network of highly skilled professionals.
Warm wishes,
Kathrine Fraser
