Women in Extractives Network NZ (WENNZ)

WENNZ is a Straterra initiative aiming to increase the number of women in the minerals industry, enhance their visibility, and to enable networking opportunities and support in the sector. It also seeks to promote diversity and inclusion by creating pathways and to assist in increasing the network of wahine toa at all levels, across New Zealand’s mining, quarrying and drilling. Membership is open to all (including non-AusIMM members), regardless of gender.
