SUMMARY:Members Hui 2026
DESCRIPTION:Rotorua | Te Puia | 21–23 May 2026\nConnected. Courageous. Changemakers.\nThe 2026 Members’ Hui invites our community to pause and reconnect – to place\, to purpose\, and to one another. Grounded in whenua and guided by connection\, Rotorua’s landscapes and geothermal springs remind us that renewal is both powerful and necessary. Coming together as Global Women members fills our cup – with learning\, challenge\, laughter\, and the energy that only collective leadership can bring. \nThis Hui is a moment to acknowledge progress and to be honest about what has not shifted – particularly for women and communities facing intersecting inequities. Across two days\, we will examine where power sits and how it must be redesigned; how capital\, talent\, health systems\, and institutions can work differently; and where leadership responsibility must now be held with greater courage and accountability. We will bring global insight into sharp local focus\, centering wāhine Māori leadership and reflecting the diversity of women’s experiences across Aotearoa. \nAbove all\, this Hui is designed to move us from insight to action. Through purposeful kōrero\, connection\, and reflection\, members will be challenged to leave with clearer priorities\, practical shifts to make within their spheres of influence\, and renewed confidence to lead meaningful change. Together\, we step forward – connected\, courageous\, and ready to act as changemakers. \nAt this Hui\, members can expect bold conversations\, diverse perspectives\, practical leadership insights\, and clear calls to action – grounded in place\, equity\, and collective responsibility. \nSee the full programme here: 2026 Members Hui Programme \n  \nSpeakers confirmed\nMore to come…\n \n  \nTicket Packages\nPackage A \n\n2 day/2 night\nThursday 21 May – Saturday 23 May\n\nPackage B \n\n1 day/1 night\nFriday 22 May – Saturday 23 May\n\n\n  \nDiscounted Accommodation Rates at the Rydges Rotorua – Hui 2026\nBook your 2026 accommodation early!

SUMMARY:Getting clear on what matters: Women Into Leadership in 2026
DESCRIPTION:This event is exclusive to Champions for Change member organisation. \n2026 hasn’t shaped up the way we’d hoped. With economic turbulence\, restructuring\, AI\, and a long list of competing demands\, it’s easy for gender progress to slip down the priority list – not because it doesn’t matter\, but because there’s only so much bandwidth to go around. This is also\, though\, a good moment to get clear on what matters most and where to focus the resources we do have for maximum impact. \nJoin Dr Amanda Sterling – researcher\, consultant\, and one of NZ’s leading experts on women into leadership – for a practical\, research-backed session exploring what it takes to make real progress for the inclusion of women and where to focus your actions right now. \nDrawing on two years of New Zealand survey data (622 women in leadership roles)\, her PhD research\, and hundreds of conversations with workplace leaders struggling with good intentions – alongside an overwhelm of possible actions – Amanda will walk you through a framework for understanding where your workplace is at\, what the evidence says about where to focus your energy from there\, and what we all need to level up on if we want to see a real shift in opportunities for women in our lifetimes. \nWe’ll explore: \n\nWhy women’s experiences at work\, and women’s experiences into leadership are different – and why that distinction matters.\nThe three stages of the inclusion journey\, what they look like in practice\, and what they mean for where you focus.\nWhat the data actually tells us about what’s having the most positive impact on women’s careers into leadership\, including a few results that might surprise you.\nThe challenges that workplaces genuinely committed to gender equity in leadership need to confront for meaningful change.\nHow to identify the highest-impact actions for where your workplace is right now.\n\nThis session is about helping you cut through the noise and focus on what is actually going to make a difference\, as well as challenge you to think more critically about how we’re progressing with gender equity in New Zealand. \n

SUMMARY:Rebuilding From the Inside: Culture Transformation at Alpine Energy
DESCRIPTION:This event is exclusive to Champions for Change member organisation. \n  \nCaroline Ovenstone and Susan Lowe on what it takes to shift a culture\, from the CEO’s seat and the Chief People Officer’s seat at the same time. \n  \nAbout the session \nMost culture transformation stories are told after the fact\, tidied up\, with the hard parts sanded off. This one won’t be. \nAlpine Energy is an essential lifeline service connecting more than 33\,000 customers across South Canterbury. Over recent years the business has worked through regulatory resets\, modernising systems\, and rebuilding after a period of instability. The kind of turnaround that looks like strategy on paper but made possible by culture. \nChief Executive Caroline Ovenstone and Chief People & Organisational Performance Officer Susan Lowe take us inside that work. The decisions\, the resistance\, what they’d do differently\, and the moments where the plan met the reality of a workforce that had already been through a lot. \nFormat: 60 minutes in conversation\, then 30 minutes of open dialogue. Come with your questions. \nWho it’s for: Champions for Change members and their senior leadership teams. Bring your CPO\, your ELT\, whoever is carrying this work in your organisation. \n  \nSpeakers \n\nCaroline Ovenstone\, Chief Executive Officer\, Alpine Energy. Caroline has led Alpine through its transformation\, with a focus on strengthening the link between governance\, culture and community outcomes\, and giving people the confidence to lead from where they stand. She came to the role via senior executive leadership in South Africa\, including as Managing Partner at BDO South Africa\, and sits on the Global Women board.\nSusan Lowe\, Chief People & Organisational Performance Officer\, Alpine Energy. Susan leads people and organisational performance at Alpine\, where the People and Safety team’s brief is to build a culture in which people can do their best work safely. She has written about culture transformation from the practitioner’s side: what works\, what stalls\, and why so much change effort never reaches the people it was designed for.\n\n

What can happen when women across borders mobilise around a shared purpose? \nJoin us for the remarkable story of more than 200 Afghan women judges whose lives were put at grave risk when the Taliban returned to power in 2021 – and the international network of women judges that mobilised to help save them and their families. \nWe’ll hear first-hand from: \n\nThe Honourable Dame Susan Glazebrook DNZM – then President of the International Association of Women Judges and a leader of the international effort to evacuate the judges.\nRaihana Attaee – former Afghan judge\, evacuated to New Zealand.\n\nTheir story is a powerful example of women supporting women across borders – and a springboard for a conversation about Global Women’s own global ambition. We’ll also be joined by some IAWJ members. \nInternational members and those outside Auckland can join online and will be able to contribute to the discussion. \nEvent details: \nWednesday 25 November 2026\, 4pm-6pm\nThe Northern Club | 19 Princes Street\, Auckland\nPricing: $65+GST (Early Bird $45+GST)\nOpen to Global Women members only

SUMMARY:Global Women Members Hui - Kirikiroa Hamilton 2027
DESCRIPTION:He piko\, he taniwha \nAt every bend\, a leader. Making leadership enduring. \nMembers Hui 2027 | Kirikiriroa Hamilton | Midday Thursday 20 May 2027 to late Friday 21 May 2027 \nWaikato taniwha rau\, he piko he taniwha\, he piko he taniwha. The Waikato winds through Kirikiriroa\, and at every bend stands a leader. No bend holds the river. Each one receives the water\, shapes its course and sends it on. \nThat is the leadership we gather to explore in 2027: leadership that endures because it is handed on. Tuakana teina sits at the centre of this hui. Each of us is tuakana to someone and teina to someone else\, and the strength of our network lies in how well we carry one another forward. \nWe open with pōwhiri and a welcome to the whenua\, then gather at Zealong Tea Estate. In 1996 its founder imported 1\,500 tea cuttings\, a crop nobody had grown successfully in this country. Only 130 survived quarantine. Every one of the 1.2 million plants on the estate today descends from them. Patient work\, passed down\, still bearing harvest. \nCome to reflect\, reconnect\, and leave with enduring relationships that lasts well beyond two days. \nOpen to Global Women Members only. \nEarly bird\, until 31 January 2027\n1.5 days and 2 evenings: $1\,400\n1 day and 1 evening: $1\,350 \nStandard\, from 1 February 2027\n1.5 days and 2 evenings: $1\,500\n1 day and 1 evening: $1\,450 \nPrices are per member\, GST inclusive\, and cover the programme\, venues\, catering and hosted elements. Travel and accommodation are at your own cost. Global Women rates are available at Novotel Tainui.
