MEA is proud to celebrate our Director, Kaye-Maree, who has been recognised with the Te Pou Whirinaki Business Collaboration Award at the MWDI Māori Business Women Awards.
This award acknowledges Kaye-Maree’s enduring commitment to collaboration, innovation, and community impact, values that sit at the heart of MEA’s mahi. Through her leadership, MEA continues to create meaningful connections, strengthen relationships, and bring diverse communities together to make positive change achievable.
Reflecting on the recognition, Kaye-Maree shared her gratitude:
“I feel lucky to have built our impact enterprise around what I love to do the most – connecting, building relationships, getting under the iceberg and bringing diverse communities together to help make what they want achievable.”
Kaye-Maree extends heartfelt thanks to her whānau, friends, and the incredible network of partners and changemakers MEA has been privileged to work alongside. A special acknowledgment also goes to the MEA team – Holly, Kris, Sophia, Terima – and her brother, Mita Dunn, for their unwavering support. She also thanks Māori Women's Development Inc. for their commitment to building wāhine led entrepreneurs.
Congratulations, Kaye-Maree!
A well-deserved recognition of your leadership, vision, and dedication to empowering Māori and diverse communities across Aotearoa.
