National Maori Housing Conference

The Māori Caucus of Community Housing Aotearoa invites you and members of your organisation to attend our National Māori Housing Conference – Nōu te rourou, Nāku te rourou – ka ora ai te iwi – with your contribution and mine we shall all prosper. 

This two and a half day event brings together people from across the community to discuss issues, showcase and celebrate Māori Housing success and innovation across Aotearoa. 

Nōu te rourou, Nāku te rourou will take place at Te Papaiouru Marae in Rotorua from Monday 22nd to Wednesday 24th March 2010, beginning with a powhiri at 11am.   

The two and half days encompass presentations from our membership and the sector with a key focus on Papakainga, Trade Training, Design, Finance, Māori Land and Kaitiakitanga.  We will also have stall exhibitions and one to one clinics that will enable you to connect directly with representatives from Government agencies and related housing organisations.  We will also host a BBQ Dinner event on the evening of the 22nd to further your ability to network with one another. 

Please book in your diary – National Māori Housing Conference – Nōu te rourou, Nāku te rourou – ka ora ai te iwi in Rotorua which will be an event of historical significance for Māori Housing moving forward into the future.  

To give us an indication of numbers attending please RSVP to Kaye-Maree Dunn by email to kayemareedunn@gmail.com and you will be able to register and pay online on our website www.maorihousing.com 

We look forward to collectively addressing Māori housing issues and exploring local innovative solutions.  We also look forward to celebrating the concerted efforts of whānau, hapū, iwi and other community organisations that have shown sustained commitment to meeting Māori housing needs. 

Nāku noa, nā
