Local boards sworn in for new term

Singing, music, cultural pride and prayer were all part of the colour at ceremonies swearing in Auckland Council’s 149 local board members over the past two weeks.

As well as elected members being sworn in to office, these events were a chance for supporters and family to celebrate their loved one’s achievement.
