The Cook Islands Investment Corporation (CIIC) is inviting the public to take part in an important community engagement session on Wednesday 16th April 2025, from 6:00pm to 7:30pm at the Sinai Hall in Avarua. This is your opportunity to learn more about CIIC’s strategy and share your views on how our public assets and services can better serve the people of the Cook Islands.
This initiative reflects CIIC’s long-term commitment to strengthening communities and ensuring that public infrastructure, enterprises and investments continue to meet the needs of our people—now and for generations to come.
Minister for CIIC, Hon. Albert Nicholas, is encouraging wide participation.
“These public assets belong to the people of the Cook Islands. They are key to our development and wellbeing as a nation. That’s why it’s important that we hear from you. Your views matter—so we can ensure these assets serve us well today, and for generations ahead.”
CIIC Chair Fletcher Melvin echoed the importance of reconnecting with the community.
“It has been some time since we as a corporation have gone out to the public in this way—and to be honest, I don’t think we ever really have. We want to change that. We want to work with the public, and we want to hear directly from you as we shape our strategy for the future.”
CIIC Chief Executive Officer Allan Jensen added:
“CIIC is responsible for a wide range of national assets—from Crown land and government buildings to ports, airports, utilities, telecommunications infrastructure, and more. This engagement session is an opportunity for the public to better understand the scope of our work—and for us to listen and learn from the community we serve.”
The session will be held on Wednesday 16th April, 6:00pm–7:30pm at Sinai Hall, Avarua. Light refreshments will be provided along with some spot giveaways.
