Regional Women's Advisory Networks (RWAN)
Each region has elected representatives from their area at meetings held throughout NZ.
We encourage everyone to attend a meeting when they are held in your area/region. The aim of the meetings is to create a safe inclusive space, where our women can discuss any issues we have, share the good things that’s happening, and enjoy the opportunity to network with other women working in similar roles. Feedback from past meetings has been extremely positive
