The Annual General Meeting of Pakistan Association of New Zealand was held on 5 December 2004 in Halsey Drive Primary School Hall Lynnfield Auckland. The agenda included presentation of Accounts and Progress Report. Out of the 91 members of PANZ who had renewed their registration since the last AGM, more than 50 attended the meeting and hence completed the required quorum. The meeting started with the recitation of Holy Quran by Imran Javeid. Zahid Shabbir, host of the programme welcomed the audience and invited Imran Akram, finance Secretary PANZ to present account statement for 2004.After him Shahid Azad, President PANZ presented Annual Report 2004 that covered a whole range of activities done in the year including a slide representation of Accounts in details. In his brief introductory remarks he emphasized the need of educating people regarding the importance of attending AGM and seeing the accountability process. He said that AGM is the biggest opportunity for critics to come and speak in front of public but only few dares to do so. He said that PANZ is out of the drawing rooms and into the people’s as his panel had vowed to make it during their electoral campaign two year back. His detailed policy and performance analysis included comparative overview of Funds generation and Events holding during the years 2003-2004. He informed the gathering that PANZ has done historical performance in terms of managing the organization and holding a record 27 big and small programmes during the last two years. We are leaving this organization in a surplus fund of almost 18000 dollars, he said. He told the audience that the biggest achievement of the organization is a dedicated service provision in different areas to the community members as well as changing the whole miserable past into a positive forward movement. He said that his team members were truly down to earth and always took their portfolios as a responsibility, never indulging themselves in petty politics of conspiracy-theories, backbiting and leg-pulling. His briefing included a whole range of topics including community representation, organization culture, communication, media representation, community services, talent hunt and multi-media library. In response to a question that somebody has used PANZ documents in pursuit of attaining Counsel Generalship in New Zealand, he said that the act is totally unacceptable if it contains truth. To another question about a Pakistani cook problem who was working in Hamilton, he said PANZ had tried best to negotiate a solution but that didn’t bear fruit and the case is with the lawyer now. Responding to concerns regarding the misuse probability of funds current PANZ is leaving for the next people, Shahid Azad hoped that a democratic process is the best safety and that the funds control has been left in hands of capable and honest people running Funeral and Executive Committees. At the end he thanked all those sponsors, and volunteers who made PANZ a success and leading vehicle for community development. He also appreciated Executive Committee PANZ for standing by the cabinet in all the times. At last Mateen Siddiqi member Executive Committee announced the new election schedule. The Election for new PANZ will be held on 9 January 2004 at 106 Halsey Drive Lynnfield Auckland.
