As part of the changes within Te Puni Kōkiri to focus on key priorities and delivering results, we have established six regions, to cover our 18 regional offices.

The regions each have a Regional Manager responsible for managing the Te Puni Kōkiri relationship with Iwi, hapū, whānau and kaupapa Māori organisations in their area and co-ordinating the work across each of their offices.

Some of those managers are familiar faces from previous roles in Te Puni Kōkiri and others are new to our organisation but bring with them extensive work experience and networks supporting Māori development.

In this issue of Kōkiri we meet three of those Regional Managers. We will meet the other three in our next issue.
