The St Albans Residents Association (SARA) is a proactive community organization working at the grassroots in St Albans, Christchurch.
SARA has been developing local resources and a local voice since its inception in the 1960s. It is a vessel for community activity that benefits the locality and residents of St Albans.
The 2018 AGM is being held on September 3 at 7pm and a new Management Committee will be voted in. With the stepping down of Renee Walker as Chair and Peter McDonald as Treasurer there is an opportunity for people who value community and want to have an influence on the development of our local resources to join the committee.
As with all volunteer driven organisations, SARA ebbs and flows through the influence of membership numbers and power. The power of organisations like SARA in the current environment is exciting, with community led development having a real influence on communities around the world as well as here in New Zealand and Christchurch.
The Committee is responsible for the strategic and financial oversight of the Association. The members actively participate in monthly meetings and lead and support local projects.
Residents are encouraged to submit candidates who would make a valuable contribution by contributing their skills to the community. Nominations can be received in advance and verbally at the AGM.
Here is the Nomination Form to complete online and we’ll see you at the AGM being held at the St Albans Tennis Club, 37 Dover Street on the 3rd September 2018.
Please get in touch with any questions or thoughts.

board member, SARA
