Karen Morgan

My principal place of residence is in the Hutt City Council area.

Kia ora koutou katoa, I am currently a Hutt City Councillor. Throughout my career I have held senior governance and leadership positions, including being Principal of Taita College for seven years.

Serving my community has always been a driver for me. With my inclusive leadership approach, I will progress the changes needed for our success. I am known for acting with integrity, consulting widely, listening and getting things done.

What I offer is big picture leadership that actively considers the future, when planning and aligning our actions. I have considerable life experience, business acumen and a proven record of delivery, (see my website).

What is important; Social Cohesion: connecting people, putting people first. Businesses: fostering strong local productivity, meaningful employment. Creating a Collaborative Strategic Vision: where diverse voices are heard. Lower Hutt deserves the best.

As your Mayor, I will have the authority to make things happen!

Tēnā koutou katoa; Ināianei, he kaikaunihera au o Te Awa Kairangi. Kua hāpaitia ngā tūranga hautūtanga, ārahitanga hoki: ko tētāhi hei tumuaki o Taita Kāreti mō te whitu tau. Ko te āwhina i te hapori taku tino whakarika. He kaiarataki kauawhi au, ka whakakipakipatia ngā hurihanga kia eke panuku. Kua rangona he pono, he whānui, he wherawhera āku mahi, tāku whakarongo, tāku mahinga atu. Ko tāku he ārahitanga whānui e whakaarotia ai te āpōpō, ina hoahoatia, whakahāngaitia ai ngā mahi. He whānui ōku wheako, āheinga umanga—tae ana ki te whakaoti mahi (tirohia taku paetukutuku). Mea matua; Kotahitanga pāpori: honohono tangata, hāpaitia tuatahitia te tangata. Taha Umanga: whakatītina te tōnui ā-rohe, te whiwhi mahi whai tikanga. Waihanga Ngātahi he Tirohanga Rautaki: rangona ai ngā whakaaro kanorau. Inawhai anō kia riro i Te Awa Kairangi ngā painga mokorarahi. Hei Kahika, ka whaimana au kia whakatutuki ai ngā kaupapa!
