On Monday, 19 January 2026, staff and Board came together at Okorihi Marae for an official pōwhiri, marking the beginning of the year and welcoming our Board into THOON.
The hui that followed set the tone and direction for 2026, giving us space to reconnect, reset, and strengthen our collective focus as we move forward together.
