Toi Māori Trustees

​The Toi Māori Aotearoa Board of Trustees is responsible for the overall vision, mission, strategies and objectives of the organisation. 

The Board provides leadership in Māori arts, advocacy for artists and oversight on programmes, projects and outcomes. Trustees provide experience and governance skills essential to the leadership role of the Toi Māori Aotearoa Trust Board.

Each member of the Board has considerable standing within their own iwi and art form and are elected by national Māori art form Committee Chairs at the Toi Māori Aotearoa Annual General Meeting.

All Trustees are volunteers and their contribution is immeasurable to the operation of this charitable organisation.
