The Board | te Poari welcomed members of two new committees recently with Mihi whakatau – the Māori Committee (pictures left) and the Pacific Peoples Committee.

These new committees were formed to ensure that Māori and Pacifika views are incorporated into governance decisions. These committees will be vital to growing outcomes benefiting the safety of these communities and the public as a whole.

We talked to Committee and Board | te Poari members about this initiative and what it means for the future.
