This past year has been one of
remembrance, reflection and celebration.
LESSONS OF THE PAST HELP DETERMINE OUR FUTURE
Nanaia Mahuta was appointed Co-Chairman, along with Sir Henry
van der Heyden, of the Governance & Representative Review team to
conduct a comprehensive re-think of the way our tribal authority is
structured and governed.
The review coincided with our 20th anniversary and was completed in
December 2015.
“This past year has been one of remembrance, reflection and
celebration, and I hope it will also lead to a time of renewal for our iwi,”
says Nanaia.
“As a Governance Review team we have sought to modernize our
approach to iwi governance and support a culture shift and determination
to move towards governance best practice. There is still work to do.”
Support for the review from members indicated “a strong preference to
learn from the challenges of the past and lift the strategic ambition of
the tribe to achieve its development priorities. The fit-for-purpose review
across the whole group will be another step in that direction.”
“It’s in this way that we will ensure we continue to drive forward as a
progressive, successful, health and prosperity-building iwi for now and
the future.”
