Awards
The network encourages businesses, small and large to apply and join with us to celebrate Māori success.
Our prestigious biennial event also offers us the opportunity to welcome the rising star of ‘Puanga’ into the Māori New Year.
It is a time to reflect, acknowledging the present whilst looking towards the future.
