of our people remain aligned. Te Kauhanganui has
identified a need for improved strategic alignment
and, accordingly, a review of the objectives of
Whakatupuranga 2050 is underway. This review
will ensure currency and relevance, and will clarify
our priorities for the next five years.
Effectively monitoring performance is among our
most important responsibilities. Te Kauhanganui
is seeking options for a clear, strategically-aligned
reporting dashboard that will significantly enhance
our oversight capability. I look forward to the
introduction of the new reporting template
this year.

EFFECTIVELY MONITORING
PERFORMANCE
IS AMONG
OUR MOST IMPORTANT
RESPONSIBILITIES.
The Governance and Representation Review
highlighted the need for better clarity of our role
and responsibilities. This clarity is assisting the
House to operate with increasing effectiveness and
I commend the members for their willingness to
engage and preparedness to make decisions in the
best interests of our iwi.
The outcome of the Governance and
Representation Review is the Marae Model,
a new governance structure which will
be formally approved for adoption this
year. I look forward to the change-up in
performance that will result and thank
the review team, led by Nanaia Mahuta
and Sir Henry van der Heyden, for ensuring
a high level of consultation so that tribal
members had the opportunity to
be informed.

Te Kauhanganui Elections
In 2014, marae elections were held in February to
select representatives for the 2015-2017 term. We
welcomed 68 new members from 46 marae. To
those members who did not return, on behalf of
Te Kauhanganui, thank you for your service.
