✅ Trustee Election - Ōkahu Inuāwai (me ētehi atuhapū) Charitable Trust
Sunday Nov 8 AGM, 9am Aotearoa Pā
We are seeking three Trustees in the upcoming Hapū election to join our existing Trustees:
•John Ho**er
•Emma Gardiner
•Brian Nyman
•Ngawai Hernandez Walden
•Taela O’Shea
•Brent Snooks
•Rochelle Jakeman
Thank you to Tina Parata and Karl Adamson for your service as Hapū Trustees. A particular mihi to Angela Kerehoma who has served as our co-chair, she is stepping down in order to concentrate on the Pā komiti and the Hapū SPV Board.
👏 What are we looking for?
•Uri who have the time to participate in monthly hapū hui (half are online working hui, the other are open forum hapū hui)
•Ideally diverse whānau representation
•Ideally diverse skills and experience (this round we are looking for people with financial/business and the other who is interested in leading and promoting the social end of kaupapa)
•Must be a doer! When you are allocated an action, it’s not lingering around at every hui!
Next year John Ho**er, Emma Gardiner, Ngawai Hernandez Walden and Bryan Nyman will be up for rotation – so even if you don’t get in this round, let us know your interest for next year!
🙌 Hei whakaaraara i a tātou!
It is highly likely at least one Te Korowai Trustee will not be standing in the Te Korowai election in three years time. The hapū is not interested in last minute, left field nominations in three years time – if you are interested, the time is now to start being active at Hapū and Pā – if not already.
😜 We have +1000 followers on our hapū page - You don’t have to be a Trustee to serve the hapū or Pā, but:
• we need more people buying our chutney fundraisers - than thumbs up,
• we need more people showing up to the Pā working bee – than thumbs up,
• we need more people showing up to our hapū hui – than thumbs up.
There will be different ways to get involved over the next year – so please get onboard where you can (1000 uri x just 1hour a year = goes a long way!).
Pai mārire!
