With a letter from their committee chair, the New Zealand Women in Roofing (NZWiR) prepare to move forward.

Greetings to all our members, sponsors and supporters, as this is our first newsletter since the new board has been established I thought I would introduce myself and the board members. My name is Debbie Wickliffe and I have taken on the position of chair of NZWiR, alongside me I am very lucky to have a great team of dedicated, talented and amazing women that make up the committee.

Vice chair: Olivia Larson
Secretary: Levern Thomas
Treasurer: Marina Ralph
Assistant treasurer: Sophia Kahakura
Other current members: Liz Watson, Marcia Hintz, Rebekah Fraser, Genia Znarok and Deborah Brown

Previous members Jenny Maxwell and Jade Thomas have been appointed as the Board Advisors for the 2023 – 2024 term.

We are all excited to be part of this organization and we are committed to continuing the great work that has already been done by the previous committee. NZWiR aims to support and empower women in the industry by providing networking opportunities, professional development, mentoring, recruitment and education.

One of our key objectives for the year is to increase membership and create more opportunities and offerings for our members to engage in.

We are grateful for the support of our sponsors and supporters who help us to make these initiatives possible. We encourage all members to spread the word about NZWiR and invite other women in the industry to join us.

Thank you for your ongoing support and we look forward to working with you and growing our organization.
