Jacqui Harema has called West Auckland Home since she was born here 48 years ago, and now she proudly watches her moko follow that lead. Along with her four children, several grandchildren and long-term partner, Jacqui's actively involved in the West Auckland sport and cultural communities. Jacqui's a director at Te Whānau o Waipareira where she's worked for over 20 years supporting and advocating locals. 'I love this area, there's so much diversity and I think we're seriously under-represented in Tāmaki Makaurau. I look forward to being elected onto the Portage Licensing Trust to ensure accountability and transparency for our people here. The Portage Licensing Trust really provides that essential connection to the community whilst also being a voice to champion our aspirations for Glen Eden'.
As an executive at Waipareira, Jacqui has demonstrated great success, leadership and dedication in West Auckland, making her ideal for the Portage Licensing Trust.
