BREAKING THE MOULD
Tēnā koe,
I am thrilled to invite you to join us in Wellington on the 28-29 November 2023 at Sky Stadium to immerse yourself in the remarkable stories of emerging and established female leaders who are trailblazing their way to success. Discover their triumphs, challenges, and the invaluable lessons they’ve learned along the way, and let their stories serve as a catalyst to awaken your own leadership potential, empowering you to make a lasting impact.
For the 9th year, the Women Leaders Institute brings together emerging and established female leaders from across Aotearoa, as they pave the way and make their mark in the corporate world.
This year, 10% of event proceeds will be donated to support UN Women’s programs in our neighbouring Pacific countries and around the world, ensuring all women and girls have equal opportunity.
By attending this summit, regardless of your gender, you become an integral part of the movement toward a more inclusive and diverse future, where every individual feels a sense of belonging.
With this shared vision, we look forward to meeting you in November.
Ngā manaakitanga
