structure and foundations at the operational level
which are progressively being strengthened, placing
us in an optimum position to strive forward.
Our progress and success is due to many. Firstly, I
acknowledge the guidance of Kiingi Tuheitia and
the Kiingitanga, for whom we remain loyal and
steadfast. The visit of Prince Charles and the
Duchess of Cornwell in our Raupatu memorial
year reinforced our relationship with the British
monarchy and was a proud day for us all.
To our marae, the members of Te Whakakitenga
o Waikato, my fellow members of Te Arataura,
the trustees and directors of Ururangi Ltd,
Tainui Group Holdings, and the Waikato-Tainui
College for Research and Development, and
to all management and staff…thank you for the
commitment, dedication, purpose and energy you
give to maintaining the ahi kaa, overcoming the
challenges and seeing the opportunities to advance
the prosperity of our people.
Ahakoa ngaa whiu o te waa, ka ara a Waikato-Tainui
i te rua. Kia mau ki te ora o te iwi! Kia mau ki te ora
o te tangata! Purutia, taawhia kia ita!
While 2016 has been strong, 2017 and beyond will be stronger yet.
We have an improved governance structure and foundations at
the operational level which are progressively being strengthened,
placing us in an optimum position to strive forward.
Prince Charles and the
Duchess of Cornwall

Makau Ariki Atawhai
