Notice of 16th Annual Meeting of Te Rūnanga o Ngāi Tahu 2011
Kia ora Ngāi Tahu Whānui,
As many whānau will know there is no Hui-ā-Tau this year, but it will be back in November 2012. Te Rūnanga will spend the next 12 months looking at ways we can improve the hui format and provide more opportunities for whanaungatanga and greater variety of events and ways for whānau to participate. Over the next few months we will be asking for your feedback on what you would like to see happen. If you already have some ideas, please email events@ngaitahu.iwi.nz or call 0800 KAI TAHU and put forward your suggestions.
This year Te Rūnanga is holding its Annual General Meeting (AGM) in Christchurch. An open forum session will follow the AGM to provide an opportunity for whānau to ask questions of the organisation and its leaders. The forum will include presentations from Kaiwhakahaere Mark Solomon and chair of Ngāi Tahu Holdings Corporation Trevor Burt, detailing the annual results and performance of Te Rūnanga o Ngāi Tahu for the 2010-11 financial year.
