Karen Clarke

 Karen Clarke led us through Weaving the Strands 2009. Karen, of Ngati Kahungunu descent, has worked with IPNANZ Staff and Committee over the past year as we reviewed and changed our actions in respect to IPNANZ bicultural partnership.  Karen has gently and, at the same time firmly, helped us to get to the heart of our processes and skilfully guided our growth and change in a lively, open and interactive way. The values of manaakitanga and integrity guide her in every way and we each experienced that in our heart and soul. Fundamental to Karen is being a singer-songwriter and musician.  We know you will enjoy her company as our conference MC.
