ANZ scholarship boost
Two farming women are making the most of ANZ Scholarships received for AWDT’s national leadership and governance programme.
Women in leadership becoming normality
When we focus on gender rather than merit we do women a disservice.
AWDT wins national award
The pathway to governance created by AWDT for women in the primary sector has won a 2017 Women In Governance Award.
Primary sector women funded
AWDT has been granted $289,000 from the Government’s Sustainable Farming Fund to extend its work to three new groups of women.
Business programme extended to reach 2,800 farmers
A national AWDT programme to increase profitability and productivity of sheep & beef farmers is being scaled up over the next 4 years.
Industry invests in farming women
The development of the business skills and confidence of sheep and beef farming women is being funded by the Red Meat Profit Partnership.
Another highlight of our 2018 year - our new Future Focus programme saw 100 sheep and beef farming partners plan their goals and aspirations together using a team approach to business planning. There are only a few places left on this year’s programme provided with support from Red Meat NZ. Check here to find out more and register www.awdt.org.nz/programmes/futurefocus/
