COTTERILL Takiri

Ko Taranaki te maunga

Ko Tokomaru te waka

Ko Te Atiawa te Iwi

Ko Ngati Te Whiti te Hapu

Ko Takiri Ann Cotterill ahau.

For the past 20 years I have worked as a social worker primarily in the area of support to whānau to care for their tamariki and rangatahi. I have held various managerial positions in this field including Branch Director, Regional trainer and National Manager.

I am a registered social worker with a degree in Social work (Biculturalism in Practice) and have served on various panels including School Board of Trustees Lottery Youth and NZQA.

I am currently employed by Te Whare Kaupapa Āwhina/Open Home Foundation as Kaitohu ā Kaupapa being responsible for the agency’s communications, social work training and kaupapa Māori service development.

For the past 3 years I have been part of the leadership of Te Roopu Raranga o Manaia ( at Hikoikoi), a whānau based collective committed to sharing traditional raranga skills.

My passion is to promote whānau mauri ora /wellbeing that comes from a strong sense of identity and belonging, whakarangatiratanga /self-determination through education and employment and above all assist whānau to ensure ahurutanga/safety for all our tamariki within our own waka.

I offer myself as a candidate for the PNBST Board with the belief that we can only secure a bright future for our mokopuna by pursuing a clear vision of what that future looks like and embarking on this journey together through kotahitanga and aroha.

I am a registered early childhood teacher working for the Wellington Region Free Kindergarten Association as their Kaitiaki o Kaupapa Māori. The skills that I bring to the trust are transparency, accountability and within business I do believe you can make wairua decisions which are made for the betterment and sustainability of our mokopuna.

I am passionate about working with children and the kaiako that teach our children and am involved within our community in Wainuiomata and the wider Wellington rohe.

The reason I am standing yet again is I am still not satisfied with the direction and decisions that are being made on our behalf.

Ko Douglas Gary Tumahu Hawkins (Ahie) ahau

Occupation:Business owner: Hawkins&Co. I co-own a design and brand company in Auckland. We work across a range of clients from Ngati Whatua o Orakei to Turners & Growers to Taranaki Rugby. My company supports young Maori designers through an intern programme to ensure that Maori graduates have increased opportunity in today’s world. We do a lot of pro-bono work in the community – from sports to the arts, to a three day Maori festival showcasing traditional & contemporary culture. We provided the brand for the recent visit by HRH Prince Charles to celebrate the Queen’s Jubilee.

Personal interests:W’anau, Aotearoa, rugby, the arts.

Community involvement:TRFU, QEII Diamond Jubilee Trust, The Blues, Te Aria Nui Charitable Trust, Atamira Maori in the City.

Candidate statement: I am in the business of communicating information in a way that everyone understands. We will be stronger if we share our kaupapa, everyone should know what is happening in the changing Maori economy – the awakening giant. Port Nicholson can affect its message by more newsletters, better social media (yes facebook). Last year I brought our maunga back to the TRFU rugby jersey (alternative strip) - through good communication we can bring the maunga back our culture across the board.

As a guardian for future generations I will support and collaborate and look forward to a positive future.

I seek your support to serve as a trustee on our PNBS Trust. Events surrounding the trust over recent years have raised considerable concerns. These concerns, coupled with my passion to make a positive contribution to our people have inspired me to stand in this election.

I come with 14 years governance experience, as a trustee of the New Zealand Railways Staff Welfare Trust and 2 years on the Management Committee of the Rail and Maritime Transport Union. I am also a member on the NZCTU PTE Governance Group. I have 2 adult children and work at KiwiRail as a telecommunications team leader, based in Wellington.

I hold an NZIM Diploma in Management, and a New Zealand Diploma in Business.

Integrity, accountability and transparency are critical attributes to how we move forward in the trust, as we rebuild the confidence and trust of our members. These are all values that I carry along with the commitment and courage to make the right decisions.

Your vote is important, and I encourage you to exercise it.

Kia ora
