We invite Expression of Interest to join the GWN Steering committee. This is a unique opportunity to contribute to a maturing national connector network that uplifts wāhine and women networks across the public sector.
On the 25th of March, GWN marked its 10-year anniversary with a celebration at Parliament and the launch of its biannual report.
Returning and new Steering Committee members are geared up and rearing to go, for a busy and impactful year ahead.
The Government Women’s Network is drafting a report on Parental Leave support which will be informed in part by a survey to GWN members.
