organisation. Taha Māori The Taha Māori working group within Ngā Taonga Sound & Vision was developed during the 2012-2014 transformation process. Specialist Māori language and programme staff were seconded to a working group to develop Taha Māori programming and activities within the archive. The major operational restructure of the Archive in 2014 saw the establishment of the Taha Māori department to "address the needs of Māori collections and users". The department saw rapid growth, with expenditure rising from $54,257 in 2013/14 to $413,692 in 2014/15. However, in July 2016 an operational restructure saw the disestablishment of the Taha Māori department, with its staff split and absorbed into other departments. External engagement with iwi and Māori At the time of publication in mid-2016, Ngā Taonga Sound & Vision's Strategic Plan 2016-2014 noted that there was no work programme to address relationships with iwi and Māori. The archive had eight expired Memoranda of Understanding with various iwi, and little connection with urban Māori. The archive didn't engage with Māori audiences and used English as its primary language for on and off-line services, with only elements of Te Reo. Patron After becoming Governor-General of New Zealand in September 2016, Dame Patsy Reddy took on the role of Patron of Ngā Taonga Sound & Vision. In the late 1980s Dame Patsy was the Chair of the New Zealand Film Archive's Board of Trustees. Later she became the Chair of the New Zealand Film Commission. Board of trustees The Board of Ngā Taonga Sound & Vision is composed of six Trustees. Each Trustee can be on the Board for a maximum of 2 three-year terms. The Trustees can also co-opt other people onto the Board as needed. Trustees are paid an honoraria of $10,000 each annually. The Chair is also paid an additional $10,000 annually. The Chair must be a current Trustee and is appointed by the Board on an annual basis. Even though Ngā Taonga Sound & Vision is largely a tax-payer funded organisation, it is not a Crown entity and the Board is solely responsible for identifying and appointing Trustees. Chair of the board of trustees Ngā Taonga Sound & Vision's founding Chair of the Board of Trustees was Jane Kominik. Ms Kominik was previously the Chair of The New Zealand Film Archive. She had earlier been Deputy Chief Executive of the Ministry for Culture and Heritage when it was established in 1991.
