We’re in the midst of re-positioning ourselves to finish the job Kate started, and you could be a part of our new movement. Building on our long, proud history of achieving social and economic change, we’re now leading a new movement that is more modern, vibrant and relevant for New Zealanders today! Gender Equal NZ aims to harness the growing interest in gender equality and to take collective action for change.   

We are looking for experienced, action-orientated governance professionals who are committed to our cause, with proven skills in one or more of the following areas:   

The Board wishes to reflect the diverse nature of our population. Applicants representing tangata whenua, as well those representing minority ethnic groups are desired.

Board members will be elected at our online conference on 20th & 21st November. Three current Board members whose terms are ending will be seeking re-election.
