Judy Kumeroa 

He uri o Ngāti Tamakana, Ngāti Tūwharetoa hoki, ko Judy Kumeroa ahau. Married to Greg Tichbon, with three fabulous children, our life is an expression of supporting rangatahi, whānau and our community to thrive.  My whakapapa connects me to my papakainga at Makaranui and my daily life in Whanganui connects me to my Stone Soup community, and Te Ora Hou. These special connections ground me.  I look forward to serving our communities through the Whanganui Community Foundation. I will bring my knowledge, and build a greater understanding of the needs and aspirations of the region the foundation serves, to support enhanced community wellbeing.
