“I have known Wendy Schollum for over eight of years, dating back to her time as a volunteer and then board advisor for the Hastings Business Association. Currently, I serve with her as a Creative Communities Hastings assessor, an important role - to allocate central government arts funding on a local level.

It has been great seeing her in action as a tireless and dedicated Councillor for Hastings.

A passionate advocate for her community who always turns up when she can, often out and about working in the community.

Wendy is committed to seeing the arts thrive, she is a wāhine who gets things done while still maintaining a solid moral compass.

Wendy is a role model that shows you what can be expected from and delivered by your councillors.“
