With women still underrepresented at the highest levels of leadership, it’s more important than ever to take action. 

This Women Directors’ Network event will be live-streamed from Auckland. Facilitated by Matt Prichard CMInstD, hear panellists Jackie Lloyd CFInstD and Carolyn Steele CMInstD explore the challenges, successes, and some tangible steps needed to ensure more women have a seat at the table 
 
Topics will include: 

  • Overcoming barriers to boardroom entry
  • Building support networks and mentoring
  • Practical strategies for fostering diversity in governance 

All members passionate about advancing gender equality in governance are invited to join us in Dunedin for this breakfast event.
