“Our group is unique in that it allows women to share their knowledge and success and offers pay-as-you-go events. The traditional high-paying fee structure for business events can exclude some women and smacks of corporate intimidation. Our monthly meetings create a space for members to collaborate and connect without feeling they can’t justify it. “We still have huge pay inequity of around 10 per cent in NZ and it is my hope that through women supporting other women, we can keep pushing for greater recognition,” Keeley says.
Keeley says the group is already attracting a lot of interest and hopes to be able to expand the network beyond the region in the future.
