Te Awe saw off 2011 with the AGM followed by the Te Awe 15th Birthday and Christmas Celebrations.
The Maori Business Expo featured local and international guests in Wellington during the rugby, as well as Poutama Trust and Te Awe member businesses.
Te Awe ran a business link up hui during September where members were split up into teams that represented one of the nations playing in the Rugby World Cup and participated in a quiz against each other.
