Scott Bailey
Ko Scott Bailey taku ingoa;
Ko Taranaki te maunga;
Ko Waitara te awa;
Ko Te Ātiawa te iwi
Taranaki Whānui E Tū
Strong. Connected. Prosperous.
I am the grandson of Tamati (Uncle Tom) Bailey of Waitara and Konehu "Connie" Stephens of Wakapuaka.
My tribal affiliations are Te Ātiawa, Ngāti Rārua, Ngāti Toa and Ngāi Tahu.
I am honoured to be nominated for election onto the PNBST Board.
My career is primarily in the field of Sales & Marketing, and currently self employed.
In 2007, I gained certification as a Business Consultant, gaining practical knowledge in business processes, with a special focus on marketing.
In 2015, I was awarded an International Scholarship. I received specialised training in G.I.S. software at the University of Davis, in California USA.
I also presented a paper on Rongoā, to attendees at the International SCGIS Conference, in Monterey.
I'm also a Registered Financial Service Provider (FSP 474686). I have previously volunteered my skills with two Kōhanga Reo, and recently served on the komiti of a local marae group.
Why do I volunteer?
Not only does it give me a sense of purpose, but I sincerely believe we all have a duty to help others in need.
As my mum always said, "Charity begins at home". We need to look after each other.
Some of my hobbies:
Ok, that's the formalities out of the way. Let's chat about you whānau....
Our people have been disconnected and without a voice for too long. I joined Taranaki Whānui E Tū because they identified a serious need for improved governance and transparency within PNBST.
As members of Taranaki Whānui, you have the right to be consulted on major decisions and at the very least, be provided with the means to voice your concerns.
The current Board of Trustees have been through stressful times and as a result, Board decisions are being made without full disclosure (or consultation) with members. But stressful times or not, there is no excuse for 'cloak & dagger' behaviour.
Oh, wait....the Trust Deed says..... Yes, we know what the Trust Deed says, but guess what whānau? You have the ability the change the Trust Deed. And believe me, it's well overdue for a review.
"Enough of this raruraru", I say....
Let's honour our ancestors and stay true to the Raukura, and the mana it represents - Goodwill to all man, despite the conflicts we face.
Now that your voting packs have finally arrived, please read the individual profiles and consider carefully what each candidate can bring to the new Board. Ask yourselves the important questions: 'what can this person do for our whānau?', 'does this person display integrity?', 'can they remain objective under pressure?'
Whānau, I cannot stress this enough:
You will make a positive difference, if you act now. I challenge every registered member to exercise their right to vote.
Please choose your 6 candidates wisely and make your votes count !
If not elected, I shall still offer my skills to our people. Why? We are Taranaki Whānui and that's how we roll !
Whomever you elect as your new Trustees, they have my full support.
I accept this nomination, with an objective to restore communication channels with members, provide transparency and resolve any conflict.
Let's maintain goodwill between ourselves, so our people can thrive.
Kia ora

My dad voted today....
Of course he voted for his son, but I was somewhat surprised with his other choices.
Alas, it is not for me to tell him who he should (or shouldn't) vote for.
After all, this exercise is about democracy, freedom of choice and exercising his right to have a say.
Good luck to all candidates !

As my mum always said, "Charity begins at home". We need to look after each other.
Some of my hobbies:
- Technology - I enjoy using 'intelligent' software packages and web tools designed to make work tasks easier. I also like to keep up with the latest in electronic gadgets.
- Automotive - if I'm not behind a computer, you'll most likely find me under a car bonnet with hands covered in grease. I'd much rather service my own vehicle, than pay someone else do it. I'm also fully conversant with vehicle computer on-board diagnostics (OBD).
- Videography - this is one of my favourites. Filming, video editing & production has been a long time passion.
