The importance of acknowledging “Powers of whakapapa (connections), whanaungatanga (relationships), tikanga (maintaining practices ) and whakarongo as essential skills around the table” Dr Chelsea Grootveld, Chair JR McKenzie #Amorangi2024@tapuwaeroa
Some great insights by Jamie Tuuta at @tapuwaeroa#Amorangi2024 summit today “As Māori Governors, you have obligations to do what needs to be done. Be present, do the mahi and adapt to change. Change your mindsets, open your minds .. and your hearts”
“Māori are needed now in leadership and governance roles. We can create our own desirable future if we step up and take a planned approach. We must take our rightful place” - Merepeka Raukawa-Tait, at #Amorangi2024 Māori in Governance Summit hosted by @tapuwaeroa.
