Cake, a Cuppa and Co-governance

Cake, a cuppa and Co-governance is a free event to explore the vexed topic of co-governance.
It will include a panel discussion, question time and speakers with direct experience of co-governance in action. Many people are unclear about Treaty of Waitangi issues generally and how co-governance relates to this. We aim to provide a safe forum for people to hear local experts discuss the topic and to be able to ask questions about what it all means for everyone living in Aotearoa New Zealand.
It will be a fact-based, fair-minded exploration of the topic. The meetings are not associated with any political party.
Moderator for the evening will be former Hastings District councillor Geraldine Travers MNZM. Geraldine is also a former principal of Hastings Girls' High and former EIT Council Chair.
The panel of speakers include Hawke's Bay Regional Councillor Martin Williams, Hastings lawyer Mark von Dadelszen, and Haumoana writer Keith Newman.
It is a public meeting and entry is free. Cake, tea and coffee will be provided.
The meetings are being organised by St Matthew's vicar David Van Oeveren, minister of Hastings St Andrew's Presbyterian Church Jill McDonald, Geraldine Travers, Napier City Councillor Maxine Boag and Napier event organiser Neill Gordon.
