All nominees are invited to provide a written profile setting out their professional experience, significant personal achievements, and what the nominee hopes to achieve, if elected. Profiles must be no longer than 350 words in total (including any mihi and/or pepeha) and may include a high-resolution, head shot of the nominee if wished. If you do not provide this information as requested, we will not be able to include those details in the Candidates Profile Booklet.

However, for election purposes all nominees’ names will be included in the Candidate Profiles Booklet, whether we receive a profile for him/her/them, or not.

All profiles will be collated into a Candidates Profile Booklet and distributed to all Marae Executives and newly elected Te Whakakitenga members.

The closing date for the Secretariat receiving profiles is 11.59pm on Wednesday, 6 September 2023.

Your personal information is being collected and will be held by the Secretariat for Te Whakakitenga o Waikato for the above purposes. If you wish to access or correct any personal information held about you, please contact our Privacy Officer at 4 Bryce Street, Kirikiriroa/Hamilton or by emailing [email protected].
