- Equipping Board members to lead modern Crown entities and purposeful Crown entity Boards.
- Engage with highly skilled Crown entity governance practitioners about their knowledge and experience on issues relevant to contemporary and good Crown entity governance.
The Mā te kahukura ka rere te manu course is run by the Iti Kōpara Trust and is targeted at current Crown entity Board members (approximately 70% of all participants on every course). While it is neither an induction nor refresher course, an essential part of the Iti Kōpara Trust’s kaupapa is to continue building a diverse talent pool for Crown entity Boards. Therefore, a small number of course participants will be governance practitioners not yet appointed to a Crown entity Board together with a handful of aspiring directors.
Mā te kahukura ka rere te manu
The course title refers to adorning the bird with contemporary governance knowledge and enabling it to fly to the highest peaks. Iti Kōpara aims to prepare our current and future leaders to aspire to Crown entity governance excellence that has the potential to uplift the mana, knowledge and wellbeing of all in Aotearoa New Zealand.
