Ngā manākitanga, Karen Wilson | CHAIR TE AKITAI WAIOHUA SETTLEMENT TRUST | Annual General MeetingTe Ākitai Waiohua Settlement Trust is holding an Annual General Meeting (AGM) on Saturday 29 September 2018 from 10am at Pūkaki Marae, 85 Pūkaki Road, Māngere, Auckland. The Te Ākitai Waiohua Investment Trust and Te Ākitai Waiohua Community Development Trust, both subsidiaries of Te Ākitai Waiohua Settlement Trust (the Trust), are also holding an AGM on the same day. The AGM will provide an opportunity for Te Ākitai Waiohua members to receive the latest reports, including an update around the Te Ākitai Waiohua settlement negotiations. This follows on directly from the ‘On account payment’ hui a iwi held back in May 2018. As part of the settlement package the Trust will also be addressing the Crown Apology which is an important element of the historical redress for Te Ākitai Waiohua. A film crew will also be attending the AGM to capture Te Ākitai korero. The previous video filmed at the ‘On account payment’ hui a iwi proved to be very popular, so we look forward to doing this again for those Te Ākitai Waiohua members who can attend the AGM. Copies of the Trust reports will be made available on the teakitai.com website under the ‘Documents’ section, or emailed to you upon request by contacting me at comms@teakitai.com
