Michelle has strong networks throughout the
West Coast and Top of the South, including
her work with the Dairy Industry Awards
in these regions. She has a clear vision of
development of Dairy Women’s Network
in these geographically unique and cross-
agricultural regions.
“I applied for the Regional Hub Leader role to continue
to help like minded women and men in the dairy and
agriculture sector, to grow themselves and their businesses.
I was also up for the unique geographical challenges of the
West Coast and Top of the South and an exciting journey is
to be had.”

Renee brings to this role her proven
leadership skills and energy she showed
as head of the 2019 conference workshop
committee in Christchurch.
“I have become a Hub Leader to help guide
and support the next group of women leaders in this industry
to have their time to grow themselves into confident,
engaged women in the industry.

It is also personally giving me an amazing opportunity to
further grow my knowledge, profile and experience in the
dairy industry.”
