Community engagement & leadership
Being part of the Cook Islands community is central to who we are. Alongside our professional work, Tim and Lucile actively contribute their time, skills, and experience to initiatives that support people, youth, and the long-term wellbeing of the islands. Our involvement includes community sport and youth development, education governance, tourism sector leadership, and environmental stewardship through partnerships such as Marae Moana. These contributions reflect our belief that strong communities, healthy environments, and resilient local systems are essential to sustainable prosperity.
Tim serves as the Cook Islands National Coach for the Under-12 Boys, supporting youth development, teamwork, and leadership through sport.
Tim has served on the Cook Islands Tourism Council for five years, including two as Secretary, and currently leads the Environmental Portfolio, driving sustainable tourism initiatives and environmental stewardship.
We have been Community Outreach Coordinators for Marae Moana for several years, promoting ocean conservation through partnerships with Seacology and local communities.
