RWNZ National Conference 2023

How wonderful it was for members to be able to gather in Christchurch last week for the National Conference. Whether it was the thought provoking sessions from our Conference speakers, Alice Ritchie and Rosemary Banks; the entertainment from The Bitches’ Box; the highlights from around the country, the update from Associated Country Women Worldwide (ACWW); or the thought provoking panel discussion on Saturday morning, there was lots to enjoy and learn.

Topped off by a wonderful laughter yoga workshop to send us home, the conference themes of Strengthen, Support and Connect were well and truly covered. We will be sharing some of the content from the Conference and AGM in this edition and the next edition of the Rural Wrap Up. A huge shout out to the Region 2 Conference Committee for all their hard work and to the wonderful sponsors who supported the event: BDO, Dairy NZ, Fonterra, JJ Limited, ADM, Rural Co, Farm to Farm, Christchurch Charitable Trust and Farming Families Charitable Trust.
