The Team

Wiremu leads with integrity and a deep sense of responsibility to the whakapapa of Maikuku and Huatakaroa. Grounded in the values of tika, pono, and kaitiakitanga, he brings strong governance experience and a clear vision for strengthening whānau wellbeing and hapū self-determination. His leadership reflects both strategy and service — ensuring that NUOMRKH’s decisions are transparent, culturally grounded, and directed toward long-term community impact.

Emma has a long history of community leadership and service, from her early involvement in establishing Te Herenga Waka o Ōrewa Marae to her continuing work as a Justice of the Peace and trustee across multiple kaupapa. She provides financial stewardship and cultural insight that help balance practicality with heart. Emma’s ability to bridge governance, tikanga, and everyday whānau realities ensures that NUOMRKH remains both accountable and compassionate in its mahi.

Ngāti Rangi brings decades of experience in Māori education, governance, and community development. His career has spanned roles in early childhood education, tertiary training, Māori broadcasting, and public service — all guided by the belief that knowledge, culture, and opportunity must be accessible to all whānau. His leadership continues to shape NUOMRKH’s focus on empowering future generations through culturally informed, sustainable growth.

She is the vital link between trustees, partners, and whānau — coordinating communication, managing funding processes, and supporting the implementation of strategic kaupapa. With a background in administration and communications, Anita approaches her role with aroha and professionalism, helping to turn the Trust’s vision into action.
