Benefits of Membership

The words of our tupuna express the benefits of FoMA membership. Association with others of like-mind has always been a basic tenet of business and success in any human endeavour. If you are interested in success, FoMA membership includes some of the largest, most successful Maori entities engaged in communal enterprise.

As a FoMA member, your organisation will have an inside track on:

Advocacy – FoMA is a reputable organisation that provides sound advice. Your membership entitles your input into FoMA policy that in turn is advocated to Government.
Networking –Ki nga whakaeke haumi - ‘align yourself with those who have already banded together’ again our tupuna speak. Many of our members also leverage their resources to take advantage of commercial opportunities that they couldn’t manage alone. As a FoMA member you can access knowledge and experience from Maori business people, land administrators, and their advisers.
Research & Training – Information Transfer is a key concern of FoMA. Due to the relationships developed within the membership and the Me Uru Kahikatea strategy of unified effort, Maori organisations have better leverage and access to resources from within FoMA than from without.
