“I love working on behalf of Toi Māori Aotearoa and am honoured to have been asked to continue the work of Waana Davis. My passion is kapa haka and I view the work of Toi Māori Aotearoa in a similar light. Everyone has their part to play, from the composers to the kaitataki, kai tautoko, the judges and the audience. I am always thrilled when I see the kapa come together to perform as a whole and I bring this excitement to my work as Chairman of the Board.”
