Invite the Mayor to your event

The Mayor attends many events throughout the year. If you'd like him to attend your event, please fill in the form below and we'll consider your request. If the Mayor is unable to make it we'll endeavour to arrange for the Deputy Mayor or a City Councillor to attend instead.

Please complete and submit this form at least two weeks before your event or meeting.

Please note:

  • The Mayor's formal title is His Worship the Mayor of Palmerston North, Grant Smith. He is very comfortable being addressed formally as "the Mayor" and informally as Grant.
  • The Mayor may be accompanied to your event by a Council staff member or a Councillor. We'll provide details before the event.
  • Due to the nature of the Mayor's commitments, there may be occasions when he has to cancel at late notice.
  • A gift is not expected or required.
