I was appointed to the Trust Board in 2006 and have enjoyed working for the Trust and our iwi. Within the governance role my main involvement and interest has been with Marlborough Resource Management (former Chairperson RM Komiti Marlborough) and the commercial and economic development of the Trust during the Waitangi Claim Settlement negotiations process. This is a strong and ongoing interest to assure sustainable and economic capacity into the future to enable the enhancement and wellbeing of our iwi me ngā whanau.

I also hold a number of Trustee and Directorship positions with other Māori and community organisations and in addition to my Te Ātiawa trustee role. These roles have allowed me the opportunity to gain solid governance experience and also participate in promoting economic and social opportunities for others, our iwi, whānau and community.
