- At
YMLC conferences committed young Maori hear, examine, present and discuss
complex issues that affect their lives, their employment, their whanau, iwi
and communities now and in the future.
- YMLC
offers unparalleled chances to discuss both shared and alternative beliefs
and visions and to strengthen networks which can become an exciting
opportunity to effect positive change for Maori and for New Zealand.
- Participants
and their sponsoring employers and iwi benefit from this innovative,
stimulating and innervating conference for Maori leaders aged around 20 –
40 yrs.
- Leadership
growth and development is not confined to one sector but is measurably
portable between iwi, community, business and employment.
- Employers
should make this an opportunity for leadership development for Maori
employees where the Maori-friendly context and environment will bring out
their best traits.
