Tūwharetoa Settlement Trust acknowledges outgoing GM
Tūwharetoa Settlement Trust’s General Manager Dylan Tahau is to depart the Trust to take up a Strategic Development
Manager position at Taupō District Council.
Mr Tahau is an environmental advocate and community leader, having held several senior positions within the public
sector and the Ngāti Tūwharetoa Iwi.
Chairman Rakeipoho Taiaroa says Mr Tahau leaves having made a significant contribution to the Trust's current strong
position.
“Dylan is a capable leader and has been a great support to the Trust, helping us to achieve the positive operational and
financial results we now experience.
“He has also facilitated our working together with others, both within Tūwharetoa and with our Central North Island
whanaunga Iwi,” says Mr Taiaroa.
“We are sad to see Dylan go, but we wish him well for his future endeavours.”
Mr Tahau says he is pleased that Tūwharetoa Settlement Trust is continuing to provide a steady, capable whare for Ngāti
Tūwharetoa to rely on.
“Strong foundations have now been laid and the Trust is in a really good place,” he says.
Mr Tahau will take up his new role in May 2017 but will remain a Trustee of Tūwharetoa Settlement Trust.
