Introduction We pray that God will envelop all of us with his spirit of wisdom, strength and love. Accompany and Support us in the front, at the back and on either side of us through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. People depart this world but the land remains, an everyday occurrence of life. We remember one of our staunch supporters Parekura Horomia, the beautiful Maureen Waaka, the many people from each marae, rest in peace and everlasting light in a very beautiful place bereft of pain and the troubles of this world. They leave saddened families in the hope that their work and example will continue to be actioned by descendants and friends in order to make a difference for whanau hapu and Iwi. We acknowledge Kiingi Tuheitia, our patron Makau Ariki Atawhai me te whanau Ariki katoa, may God uplift support and strengthen them all. Warm greetings to all our visitors, our Past National Presidents, our League membership and everyone assembled here for our 61st Annual Conference. We acknowledge our new Kaiwhakahaere/General Manager Awhimai Reynolds appointed to this position on the 18th February, National office staff Huia Johnson, T Lawrence and Joyce Tipene- Stephens for the sterling mahi they all do to keep our organisation operational. We appreciate the outputs from National Office staff despite the heavy workload. My thanks to the National Vice President, Jane du Feu MNZM, JP and Area Representative for Waiariki, Materoa Dodd, for their support on the management committee. We acknowledge all the Area Representatives for the mahi they do starting new branches, sharing news following National Executive hui with our membership and supporting whanau in need. We continue to rely heavily on the Area Representatives input and commitment to help further the aims of our organisation. Thanks also to the members of the Constitutional Review Committee. The timeline has been completed and we hope to have our pukapuka ture ratified at this year s National Conference 2013, then mahi can continue on the handbook as well as the organisational review. Our sincere thanks to Teresa Te Pania-Ashton, Chief Executive, Maori Women s Development Inc and staff for the support given to the League delivering Financial Literacy seminars throughout the eight Regions of Aotearoa.

Regional Visits My humble and sincere thanks to the membership for the warm hospitality extended to myself, and on occasion the National Vice President, the Kaiwhakahaere/General Manager and staff when visiting regions. Tenei te mihi nunui kia koutou mo nga manaakitanga tino rawe. Financial Performance The financial report highlights the performance of the Kaiwhakahaere/General Manager and her staff as evident in the audit report, confirming our accountability and transparency. Funding continues to be competitive in this economic downturn and we need to manage our funds prudently. Although we are a non-profit organisation, a non-government and non-corporate organisation, we need to show some profit to prepare for our own autonomy when funding is not easily accessible. National Executive Meetings Eight meetings and five teleconferences were held. Attendance was as follows: National President...13 National Vice President...8 Area Representatives Aotea...10 Proxy for Aotea...1 Ikaroa...11 Tainui...12 Tairawhiti...11 Taitokerau...12 Tamaki Makaurau...12 Te Waipounamu...10 Waiariki...10 Proxy for Waiariki...1 Te Ropu Wahine Maori Toko i te Ora Maori Women s Welfare League Inc Annual Report 2013 5
Representation on Boards and Committees As National President I represent the League on the following committees: a) Maori Women s Development Incorporation (MWDI) These hui are held bi-monthly in Wellington. The main direction and focus of the Trustees has been to encourage our whanau into business. With the appointment of our Chief Executive, Teresa Te Pania-Ashton. This allows for Maori Women s Development Inc to pursue its Core Business. MAIBIZ is a programme which has been sponsored by MWDI for the past five years, targeting low decile Secondary Schools up-skilling rangatahi, specifically year 12 and 13 Maori students with all the necessary pukenga required to start a business. This is a three-day seminar facilitated by Mark Douglas and Ereti Maro. The students use their innovative ideas; they present their product on the third day to four community judges. b) Maori Education Trust Maori Education Trust - supporting tauira into tertiary education with scholarships website www.maorieducation.org.nz. c) ACC: OPAG (Older Persons Advisory Group to ACC) This group consists of 10 members. Three members from Age Concern including the National President Liz Baxendine, Dr Tom Fararr, Medical Advisor, Wellington, Dr Virinder Aggarwal, Shanti Niwas, Auckland, John Wong, Director Asian Family Services, Margaret Snow, RNZRSA, Molly Fisco representing PACIFICA and two League members, Kui Morrell and I. This committee was initiated by ACC in order to advise ACC how better to deliver their services to the community, especially in a culturally appropriate manner and to advise on barriers that the older community encounter when trying to seek support from ACC. The list of barriers has been identified, some of which have been addressed. If there are any issues that League members are aware of which affect our people especially kaumatua eg, older adults fall prevention strategy, Do you need D3, ask your GP. Further information is available on ACC s website www.acc.co.nz. d) Te Putahi Paoho Te Putahi Paoho operates as an electoral college of national Maori organisations that have a role in promoting te reo Maori. The organisation s membership was negotiated during the drafting of the Maori Television Service Act. The long term strategic direction is to take a leading role in securing sufficient spectrum and resources to protect and promote te reo me ona tikanga. Many changes have occurred over the last 20 years, and Te Putahi Paoho has consulted with the Maori broadcasting sector, the Maori language sector, and Iwi representative organisations on the make-up of Te Putahi Paoho. 6 Te Ropu Wahine Maori Toko i te Ora Maori Women s Welfare League Inc Annual Report 2013
e) Pacific Women s Watch The League received an invitation to attend the AGM of Pacific Women s Watch New Zealand in Auckland in June. I was also given the honour to be their patron, which was humbly accepted. Pacific Women s Watch consists of a number of women s organisations like National Council of Women, Catholic Women s League, Shakti, Asian Women s Trust, Women s Refuge, PACIFICA and many others. Its purpose is to ensure that women in all countries within the Pacific sub-region, co-ordinate in solidarity to promote the advancement of women against violence, equality in employment and many other issues that women encounter. Pacific Women s Watch (New Zealand) hosted a CEDAW (Convention for the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women) workshop on 12-14 April in Auckland to upskill New Zealand Women in Leadership and Decision- Making and to also offer a better understanding of the Human Rights and Gender Dimensions of CEDAW. This support is in preparation to present reports to an international audience in New York 2016.

Executive Summary It is my pleasure to present my first report at National Conference as Kaiwhakahaere of Te Ropu Wahine Maori Toko i te Ora (the League). This report covers the period since my commencement with the League in February and highlights key activities undertaken since that time: Networking to strengthen strategic relationships with like minded organisations; A focus on raising the profile of the League and increasing membership; Supporting the constitutional review process; Development and launch of the national League website; Establishment of a League Facebook page; Funding and support to regions to develop regional websites; Protection of the League s insignia, name and motto; Successful delivery of the Immunisation Promotion programme; Agreement with the Ministry of Health to continue to deliver the Immunisation Promotion programme for a further two years; Evaluation of the Whanau Toko i te Ora (WTITO) programme highlighting its positive contribution to affecting transformational change within communities and whanau; Visits to regions to share WTITO evaluation findings; Agreement with the Ministry of Social Development (MSD) to continue to deliver the WTITO programme for a further 12 months; Successful delivery of the Maori Electoral Option; Re-engagement in the CEDAW process; Funding approval from MSD to assist the League review its capability needs; Review of national office systems; and Conversion of the League s accounting system to Xero. In addition, in May I submitted my dissertation on Maori Women CEOs: A Glimpse of the future? which completes my Master of Business Administration (MBA), through the Waikato-Tainui Research and Development College in partnership with the Executive Management School at the University of Waikato. In my view, the completion of the MBA qualification is not only good for me and my whanau, but also for the League. Maori women leadership is a kaupapa very close to my heart and one that I will continue to promote and support particularly in communities and with whanau. 12 Te Ropu Wahine Maori Toko i te Ora Maori Women s Welfare League Inc Annual Report 2013
Projects Awhinatia The purpose of the Awhinatia -13 programme was to support the: 1. Constitutional review of the League; 2. Organisational review of the League; and 3. Development of national and regional capacity. The review of the League s constitution has progressed and after consultation with the membership, a draft amendment is included in the current remits for approval by National Council. The organisational review is dependent on the completion of the constitutional review and is progressing. Development of National and Regional capacity has involved mainly the development of National and Regional websites. The National website has been live since 23 May 2013. In addition links to Facebook and Twitter have been included on the website to increase our reach to potential members. Positive feedback continues to be received on the website as well as a number of expressions of interests in joining the League, which have been passed on the Area Representations to follow up. Most of the women have heard about the League from their nannies, aunties or mothers who had been members. Awhinatia also provided funding for regions to hold hui on take of significance to the region. Some regions used the funding for the Nga Pu Korero o Apopo competitions or to discuss the constitutional review within their region. Some regions have used this funding to showcase some of the work the League does in order to encourage participation and increase membership. For example, Tamaki Makaurau region held an Awhinatia Day and Waiariki region held a The Best Baby in the Waiariki Universe competition. Immunisation Promotion Overall the Ministry of Health are satisfied with the delivery of the Immunisation Promotion programme as reported figures have exceeded national targets. The League s credible reputation, reach into Maori communities through its extensive membership, as well as the kanohi-ki-te-kanohi approach is a well-proven formula that works. I am pleased to advise that an agreement has been signed with the Ministry of Health, to continue to deliver Immunisation Promotion for a further two years. During that time a review of the programme will be undertaken. Te Ropu Wahine Maori Toko i te Ora Maori Women s Welfare League Inc Annual Report 2013 13
Whanau Toko i te Ora The Whanau Toko i te Ora (WTITO) programme achieved its contractual obligations assisting a number of whanau throughout Aotearoa achieve their goals. The programme continues to be successful in helping whanau make positive changes in their lives. Kaimahi provide support and advice to help whanau navigate the system, make informed choices and stand strong by themselves through whanaungatanga, whakapapa, tautoko and aroha. An external evaluator, who reported to both National Office and the Ministry of Social Development (MSD), undertook an evaluation of the programme. Overall the results were very positive. Feedback indicates that WTITO is making a difference for the vast majority of whanau with high needs, facilitating positive changes that stand to improve child outcomes. The data indicated achievement of goals as the main reason whanau exited the programme. The evaluation findings affirmed and validated the main points of difference of WTITO: it reaches high needs whanau in hard to reach communities ; and is successful because of its Maori kaupapa approach. The value of WTITO is that: it is reaching and successful with whanau for whom alternative approaches haven t worked; early intervention makes economic sense in terms of the return on investment; and it has a credible prospect of returning a positive social return on investment. I am pleased to advise that WTITO has been extended for a further 12-month period ending 30 June 2014 under MSD. Based on the evaluation report and our discussions, there is agreement that WTITO is a whole of whanau approach that focuses on more than parenting skills. There is agreement among MSD, Te Puni Kokiri and the League to get together to discuss, over the next 12 months, where WTITO best fits in the future. The Maori Electoral Option The Maori Electoral Option (MEO), Kanohi ki te Kanohi Awareness Campaign was delivered in those areas the League was successful in securing agreements Aotea, Ikaroa, Tainui and Te Waipounamu. The League was successful in its delivery, exceeding its target of presenting to 15,000 Maori people of voting age. Through the persistence and hard work of our membership working together, we continued to get positive feedback on our performance as an organisation. Mark Johns is on the National Conference programme to present an overview of the Maori Electoral Options campaign as well as the coming General Election next year. 14 Te Ropu Wahine Maori Toko i te Ora Maori Women s Welfare League Inc Annual Report 2013

Notes to the Financial Statements 1. Accounting policies Reporting entity The reporting entity is the Maori Women s Welfare League (Inc.) ( MWWL or the League ). The MWWL is governed by its constitution. The financial statements of the League have been prepared in accordance with NZ GAAP, which for the League means Financial Reporting Standards and Statements of Standard Accounting Practice. The financial statements comply with the requirements of the Incorporated Societies Act 1908 and the Charities Act 2005, in terms of which the League is a registered charitable entity. Basis of preparation The financial statements have been prepared on the basis of generally accepted accounting principles on an historical cost basis, adjusted for the revaluation of certain assets. Differential reporting MWWL is a qualifying entity for differential reporting by virtue of the fact that it satisfies the criteria laid down in the framework. Accordingly MWWL has applied all differential reporting exemptions. A. Specific accounting policies i) Fixed assets Fixed assets are stated at cost or valuation and, except for land and trophies, less accumulated depreciation. ii) Depreciation Depreciation is calculated on a straight line basis to allocate cost or revalued amount of an asset, less any residual value, over its useful life. The rates used are set out in note 19. iii) Revaluations Land and buildings are stated at valuation as determined at least every five years by an independent registered valuer. The basis of valuation is highest and best use and disposal costs are not deducted. Any increase in value of the class of land and buildings is recognised directly in equity unless it offsets a previous decrease in value already recognised in the statement of financial performance, in which case it is recognised in the statement of financial performance. A decrease in value relating to a class of land and buildings is recognised in the statement of financial performance where it exceeds any increase previously recognised in equity. Trophies are stated at valuation, as determined by an independent registered valuer on 19 September 2002. This statement is to be read in conjunction with the notes to the financial statements.

1. Accounting policies (continued) iv) Stock (Taonga) Stock is stated at the lower of cost on a first-in first-out basis, or net realisable value after due allowance for damaged stock and obsolete stock. v) Taxation There are no income tax obligations as the League currently has charitable status. vi) Goods and services tax The financial statements have been prepared stating all income and expenditure items exclusive of GST. Accounts receivable and accounts payable are inclusive of GST. vii) Receivables Receivables are stated at their estimated recoverable amount. Where a debt is considered to be irrecoverable it has been written off in the accounts. viii) Investments Investments are stated at cost, except for the monies invested with AMP which have been included at market value at balance date. ix) Branch and member levies Income from branch levies is recognised on an accruals basis. 2. Branch and member levies It was resolved at the National Conference in September 1997 to implement the policy of charging a levy of 50 plus GST to all financial branches and a levy of 10 plus GST to senior members and 1 plus GST to junior members of the League. 3. Administration fees Administration fees are recovered from projects and contracts administered by the National Office of the League. The figure shown is net of direct costs associated with administering the projects, such as salaries, training, travel and accommodation, and printing and stationery costs. Other indirect costs form part of the total operating expenses of the League.

18 Perpetual Trust Investments (previously AMP Investments) On 1 July 2000 the National Executive elected to open a 10 year term deposit account in which to deposit League affiliation fees. The purpose of this fund is to separate the affiliation fees paid by the members from the operating assets of the League. Separately identifying these affiliation fees enables League members to contribute to the asset base of the League. The AMP 10 year term deposit was able to be drawn upon from 1 July 2010. During the 2013 year the funds invested with AMP were transferred to a Perpetual Trust investment fund. During this process, to mitigate international equity investment risk, 210,000 was withdrawn and 200,000 was invested with BNZ as a term deposit. The movement in the funds values is summarised as follows: 10 year term deposit Asset mgmt fund Total Balance at 30 June 2011 397,520 87,710 485,230 Interest and dividend income 16,185 6,162 22,347 Management fees (5,201) - (5,201) GST on management fees 678-678 Revaluation at 30 June (3,493) 1,871 (1,622) Balance at 30 June 405,689 95,743 501,432 Interest and dividend income 13,891 6,837 20,728 Funds withdrawn (210,000) - (210,000) Management fees (4,336) - (4,336) GST on management fees 565-565 Revaluation at 30 June 2013 4,123 3,232 7,355 Balance at 30 June 2013 209,932 105,812 315,744 This statement is to be read in conjunction with the notes to the financial statements.
