Tena ra tatou katoa,
The wellbeing of our people is foremost for FOMA and so, after careful consideration and professional advice on Covid-19 matters, we have decided to postpone Huihuinga Wahine 2021 from Thursday 11 February to Thursday 22 April still at Villa Maria Estate, Manukau.
E hoa ma, this is a postponement, not a cancellation. FOMA will still host Huihuinga Wahine 2021 – just a couple of months later in the year.
While all registrations received to date will be held over for the April event, we understand the change in date may affect diaries so please contact our Administrator Nat Smith with any queries.
Finally, a big thank you to our sponsors, speakers, suppliers, and most importantly our members for their support to help us bring Huihuinga Wahine together - we look forward to seeing you all soon!
Tenei te mihi aroha ki a koutou!
Me Uru Kahikatea

In 2019 at FOMA32 Tai Tokerau received Te Mauri for FOMA33. For those who do not know Te Mauri is a Toki that was made one of our whanau at home. It was gifted by Tai Tokerau to FOMA in 2010 as the mauri of their conferences and particularly for the kaupapa of FOMA “Me Uru Kahikatea”. It will be lovely to have Te Mauri return home and also all “Nga Kete Korero O Te Motu” since 2010.
