Here’s what happened on Day 2 of our 2019 conference

Tonic Conference Day 2 Programme (2019)
To give you an idea of what happens at conference!
9.00am – Day 2 Rā Rua WELCOME: Aha Moments
We can’t be everywhere at once, so this is your opportunity to hear ‘aha’ moments from the workshops you never got to attend, and share your ‘aha’ moments with people who missed out on yours. It’s like a highlight reel of all the best bits so far!
9.10am – KEYNOTE PRESENTATION:
Re-igniting Your Passion – Nick Tuitasi (Sponsored by Infoodle)
Nick is a Pacific Community Leader, who has a special knack of starting successful community initiatives with a simple idea and very little else. His ability to gather and inspire community volunteers is legendary. He will bring his motivational and leadership skills to Tonic Conference reminding you all of the power of your own passion, empathy and kindness. He will encourage you to look within for solutions, and give you the strength to continue even when the waters look rough.
9.55am – INTERACTIVE PLENARY SESSION: Inspiring Others
Help us create a book of Top Tips for Inspiring Others. All of your ideas will be compiled into a special conference book, which will be distributed free to conference participants. A big thank you to Otago Polytechnic for co-ordinating this session.

11.00am – CONCURRENT WORKSHOPS:
A Positive Approach: Appreciative Inquiry 101 – Zizi Charida, www.communityminds.org.au
Zizi Charida is the Founder and Director of Community Minds, an Australian non-profit that works with community groups to develop programs that enhance and build better connected, cohesive communities. She will be bringing her wealth of knowledge to Tonic with her workshop on ‘Appreciative Inquiry’; helping you tap into your positive core and build confidence and capacity. Learn about Appreciative Inquiry, how it works, how to use the power of your language to create desired change, and how to put it into practice.
Evaluating Impact – Lisa Hickling, www.baytrust.org.nz
More often now funders are asking their grantees to show the impact of their work. What difference do you make? How do you know? How do you measure that difference? Drawing on her 25 year’s experience as an evaluator in all sectors from grass-roots to international level, Lisa will take you through the beginner’s guide to evaluating what you do and the impact you make.
Honouring te Tiriti o Waitangi – Christine Herzog, www.trc.org.nz
The not-for-profit sector has often led the way in considering how we can put the intentions of Te Tiriti o Waitangi into practice, but we all still have much to learn – especially from each other’s experiences. Christine will highlight some misunderstandings about Te Tiriti that have caused problems in the past as well as the reasons why so many are trying to do better in the future. She will share specific suggestions and resources that are useful across the sector – for organisations that are at the beginning of their journey as well as for those who have been active for many years. Christine supported Ngati Tamaoho Trust, a Waiohua hapu, through eight years of their Treaty claims negotiations and is now kaiwhahaere of Te Tai-awa o te Ora Trust, a kaupapa Maori social services organisation based in south Auckland.
