NZ Chapter: Hawkes Bay Networking Event

Come join us for our second Hawke’s Bay regional networking event, bringing together advancement and marketing professionals from across our local schools.

Following the strong turnout and valuable conversations last year, this event continues to build a space where we can connect, share ideas, and learn from one another. It’s an opportunity to talk openly about what’s working, what’s not, and the initiatives shaping our schools and communities.

We are grateful to Woodford House for hosting us this year, and to their Principal, Julie Petersen, who will present on their innovative Shine Strengths Programme.

Developed at Woodford House and co-designed with students and mentors, the Shine programme is a globally unique mentoring initiative focused on helping each girl recognise and grow her inherent strengths. Through shared stories, real-world insights, and structured experiences, the programme builds confidence, self-awareness, and the skills needed to navigate future pathways. It reflects a strong commitment to holistic education and the development of resilient, capable young women.

We’ll also allow time to connect as a group over morning tea, continuing the conversations and sharing insights across our region.

We look forward to welcoming you.

Non-members also welcome. Come join our Community!
