Tertiary education governance roles for Maori
Federation of Maori Authorities chair Traci Houpapa has been appointed to the council of Victoria University.
Ms Houpapa has become a go-to person for the government, holding other posts such as chairing Landcorp, being on the Waikato River Authority, as well as holding other commercial directorships.
Tertiary Education, Skills and Employment Minister Steven Joyce says all 14 people he has just appointed to six tertiary and wananga councils brought valuable knowledge and experience.
Three members were reappointed to Te Wananga o Raukawa’s governing council: former Ministry of Youth Affairs chief executive Anne Carter, Daphne Luke and Edward Ellison.
Rauru Kirikiri and Tuihana Pook were reappointed to the council of Te Whare Wananga o Awanuiarangi, and Ngai Te Rangi chair Charlie Tawhiao and public sector and business consultant Adrienne von Tunzelmann appointed as members.
