Delen says voluntary contributions vital

DELEN Bagita is a Nambawan Super voluntary contributions champion and says voluntary contributions are important.
From Woodlark Island in the Milne Bay, she was pleased when looking back to her voluntary contributions journey with the superannuation fund.
“I was really fortunate that everyone I knew was into saving through voluntary contributions when I joined the Milne Bay provincial works supervision unit,” she said.
“That is what prompted me to sign up at the minimum amount of K10 a week.”
As the executive officer to Milne Bay’s newly established National Procurement Commission, Bagita is no stranger to seeing how ‘a little effort now could mean a lot more later’.
On a daily basis, Bagita assists the Milne Bay provincial committee with the small steps required to ultimately see large scale projects of up to K5 million to fruition.
“I started off with voluntary contributions like others, with little effort. When I received the form, I completed it and passed it on to our payroll and human resource section. Then, I just forgot about it
“I couldn’t believe it when I checked my balance three years later,” she said.
