Introducing Helen Grant

A driving force for citizen value and engagement within Auckland Council, Helen has played a lead role in shifting the Council’s culture of community engagement over the last 7+ years.

You’ll find this won’t come as a surprise…. as community engagement has always been a big part of Helen’s life.

From her childhood running amongst local markets where her family were stallholders, to later co-founding the Ponsonby Street Markets where she loved connecting with the local designers and makers. Helen is not one to sit still for long.

Fast forward to now, and you can feel Helen’s excitement about using digital platforms to leverage the wisdom of Auckland’s diverse communities.

You reach out and connect with Helen via LinkedIn.
