The Terms of Reference for this group is available here: Please click here. 

Te Rōpū Māori will initially be chaired by Chief Executive Lizzie Marvelly (Te Arawa, Ngāti Whakaue), and we are specifically seeking expressions of interest from the following groups:

  • Māori Members of the National Board/Sub-Committees (1 position on Te Rōpū Māori)
  • Māori Leaders (2 positions on Te Rōpū Māori)
  • Māori Young Leaders – aged under 30 (1 position on Te Rōpū Māori)
  • Māori Rangers (2 positions on Te Rōpū Māori)

If you are Māori, and would like to share your knowledge and experience with GirlGuiding New Zealand as our organisation takes early steps towards meaningfully engaging with Te Ao Māori, please fill out this form to express your interest in joining Te Rōpū Māori: Please click here.
