LINCOLN EFFORD LECTURE: Tangata Tiriti. We’ve Got Your Back

We invite you to join us for this annual event held in memory of Lincoln Efford, prominent peace activist and CWEA secretary for 13 years from 1948. Each year we hold a lecture that honours issues he was passionate about: peace, prison reform, social justice. 

This year we are delighted to welcome Denis O’Reilly. Tangata Tiriti. (Ngati Pakeha no Aotearoa). Denis works with organisations which seek both economic prosperity and a better society. He is one of New Zealand’s most capable community developers and he has international experience working in large-scale industry change programmes. With a background in street activism and community development, Denis holds a notion that the people of Aotearoa are our nation’s most valuable resource, but that somehow we’ve turned a gifted and resourceful portion of our population into an alienated, marginalized and imprisoned underclass. He promotes pro-social behaviour, high rates of social and economic participation and high value contribution amongst unrecognized and even unlikely knowledge workers, innovators, and entrepreneurs. Whilst there is no fee to attend, please register as seats are limited and we anticipate much interest in coming to hear Denis speak.
