Te Tira Ahu Pae Reaches Resolution with Former Board Representatives

Te Tira Ahu Pae has formally resolved employment matters with the Māori and Pasifika board representatives who exited the governance table in April 2025.

These resolutions follow a period of robust engagement, cultural process, and good faith process, reflecting a mutual commitment to restoring mana and bringing closure to a challenging chapter.

"Te Tira Ahu Pae acknowledges the hurt and disruption experienced by those affected. Resolving these matters was not only about legal process, but it was about reinstating integrity and care for the individuals involved, as well as soldifying the heart behind our wider kaupapa."

The process was supported by independent legal counsel and cultural advisors to ensure fairness, tikanga alignment, and procedural transparency throughout and is confidential to the parties involved.

The Board remains focused on moving forward with renewed stability and purpose. Governance strengthening, inclusive leadership, and deeper engagement with Māori and Pasifika communities are among the priorities Te Tira Ahu Pae is committed to actioning in the coming months.

This moment represents a turning point. The organisation remains dedicated to its vision of collective advancement and is taking proactive steps to rebuild trust, reinforce its foundations, and create safer spaces for Māori and Pasifika to lead and thrive.

Te Tira Ahu Pae extends appreciation to all who contributed to the resolution process and looks forward to continuing its work in service of equity, excellence, and transformation across the sectors it serves.
