Dave Hookway

Party: People before Politics
Standing for: Far North District Council - Bay of Islands-Whangaroa Ward; Northland District Health Board

As a graduate with an MA (Hons) in psychology, I started in the community health and disability sector over 20 years ago. I have gained diverse experience from working for organisations including NZ AIDS Foundation, Workbridge, Auckland Pride Centre Trust, and most recently, Northland DHB. I offer experience in health promotion, education, personal skills and community development. I hold strong commitment to the Treaty of Waitangi and believe this is vital in Tai Tokerau.
The Board must ensure continued development, delivery and access to services by those most at need in order to create a healthier community.
Isolation must not be a barrier for community and drives for efficiency must not mean cuts to individuals or whanau. My current work in health promotion has shown me some of the wider needs of community in Tai Tokerau and I can offer a unique perspective on the Board.

I am currently employed by the Northland District Health Board (DHB) as a Health Promotion Advisor. To the best of my knowledge and belief, I have no other conflicts of interest with the DHB at the date of my notice of consent to being nominated as a candidate for membership of the Board of the DHB.
