Community Research has been operating under a te Tiriti o Waitangi relationship framework since our inception in 2008. We are led by a volunteer co-governance board of Kaitiaki consisting of a tangata Whenua caucus and tangata Tiriti caucus. The model recognises the special place of tangata Whenua in Aotearoa and the rights and responsibilities associated with that.

Members of our tangata Whenua caucus and tangata Tiriti caucus bring a broad range of knowledge and experience along with huge passion for the sector.

Our national operations are managed by a dedicated team of part-time kaimahi (staff) based in Te Whanganui ā Tara (Wellington). They are committed to the vision and kaupapa of Community Research and are passionate about supporting the growth and development of communities.

We are grateful to those, both past and present, who have contributed their time, skills and energy to Community Research and the communities that we serve.
