Helping women thrive

Our vision is for the women of Wellington to thrive - for you, your community and your place. We do that by creating a safe space for you to be inspired and grow, to connect with others and to contribute to the future of our place.

It all boils down to three simple words - Me We Pōneke

Get inspired by practical and helpful insights about the stuff we all experience yet are reluctant to talk about.

All of this is for all of you

All of this is for all of you

All of this is for all of you

No matter your age, your experience or your job title (or lack thereof). 

We’re not about exclusivity, career advancement or selling stuff. We’re not just for leaders or professionals, for public servants or entrepreneurs, or for specialists of any kind really. 

We’re for women and those who identify as women. Just like you.

Because we understand that while women want to grow as individuals, we also want to connect with our community, and contribute to the future of our place.
