Te Awe Business Network Appoints New Chairs For 2026
As we step into 2026, Te Awe is pleased to reconnect with our whānau, members, partners, and the wider Wellington Māori business community.
Our kaupapa remains clear and steady - supporting Wellington Māori to build economic independence through enterprise, education, mentoring, and connection. Everything we do is grounded in this purpose, strengthening whānau, pakihi, and community.
At this time, we acknowledge the whānau of Te Taitokerau and Te Tai Rāwhiti who have been severely impacted by recent storms and flooding. Our aroha is with those here in Te Whanganui a Tara who hold loved ones in those regions.
As the motu prepares to remember Te Tiriti o Waitangi, we encourage time with whānau to reflect on what Te Tiriti means for you and for your pakihi.
He kupenga hou, he hao ika hou - a new net goes fishing
We acknowledge and thank long-serving trustees Wayne Johnstone and Chad Johnstone for their many years of service to Te Awe. We also warmly welcome Kaye-Maree Dunn as our new Chair and Anita Murdoch as Deputy Chair. Alongside the continued guidance of Paul Retimanu and Matua Doug Hauraki, we move forward with confidence into this next chapter.
Together, we enter 2026 grounded in kaupapa, strengthened by leadership, and committed to supporting Wellington Māori to thrive in business and enterprise.
