for better outcomes
A clear ambition of the Ngāti Kahungunu Iwi Incorporated (NKII) board chairman, Bayden Barber, has been to build relationships and connect with other organisations in the community to build on our common goals and aspirations for whānau, hapū, iwi and community development.
Late last year, an invitation was extended from the NKII board to the Hawke’s Bay Regional Council (HBRC), and Te Kahui Ohanga (TKO) Post Settlement Group Entities (PSGEs) to attend the first NKII board hui of the new year which took place on Thursday, January 19. The objective of the invitations was to connect, share aspirations and build a good relationship.
The day commenced with the HBRC meet and greet, a mihi whakatau/welcome and the coming together of two boards which have common interests to protect the natural environment.
Among the HBRC team were Kahungunu leaders – Cr Charles Lambert from Te Wairoa, Cr Hinewai Ormsby from Te Whanganui A Orotu, and Cr Thompson Hokianga from Heretaunga. Thompson wore a dual hat as he is also the Heretaunga Taiwhenua representative on the NKII board.
