STEERING COMMITTEE

The He Rau Ringa Committee provides coordination and stewardship for the Collective. It supports shared advocacy, facilitates communication across member associations, and ensures that agreed actions are progressed in a transparent and collaborative way.

The Committee does not act independently of its members. It works on behalf of participating associations and only speaks to positions that have been explicitly endorsed.

Members of the Committee are drawn from across the sector and serve the interests of the Collective as a whole. Together, they uphold the principles of autonomy, collaboration, equity, and trust that underpin He Rau Ringa.

Ko te Komiti o He Rau Ringa te kaiārahi me te kaituitui i te Rōpū. Ka tautoko i te kōkiri ngātahi, ka whakangāwari i te whakawhiti kōrero i waenga i ngā rōpū mema, ā, ka whakarite kia whakatutukihia ngā mahi kua whakaaetia i runga i te māramatanga me te mahi ngātahi.

Kāore te Komiti e mahi motuhake ana i ōna mema. Ka mahi mō ngā rōpū e whai wāhi ana, ā, ka kōrero anake mō ngā tūnga kua whakamanahia.

Ka kōwhiria ngā mema o te Komiti mai i ngā wāhanga rerekē o te rāngai, ā, ka mahi mō te painga o te Rōpū katoa. Ka ū rātou ki ngā mātāpono o te mana motuhake, te mahi ngātahi, te ōritetanga, me te whakawhirinaki e pou here ana i a He Rau Ringa.
