Women Of Influence, When She Rises, we all Rise!

The Women of Influence programme shares the remarkable stories of women who are making a difference to the lives of New Zealanders. Each year, we shine a light on the amazing work Kiwi women are doing, from a grassroots level to the global stage, and help propel our future leaders and rising stars to bigger and better things.
