Our Extraordinary Team

Our organisation is about people and to do what we do as a Network comes
down people.
I want to personally acknowledge the talented Head Office team – Di, Zellara,
Alison, Sarah, Shelli, Olivia, Debie and Tyra.

Their can-do attitude, big picture thinking, and anything is possible is admirable.
Their energy is infectious and I’m proud to lead and be part of this team. We
couldn’t achieve what we do without their commitment, drive and passion.

Our Hub Leaders, Renee, Michelle, Jess, Sue, and Angela, thank you for supporting
your Regional Hubs with strong leadership. To our Regional Leaders without your
commitment to DWN, communities and the industry we couldn’t do what we do
without you. We celebrate and acknowledge you all.

To our members thank you for being part of our team, for your support,
encouragement, and energy. You are the reason we do what we do.

Wrapped around our team and the members we’re incredibly fortunate to have
the DWN Trust Board who too share their support, wisdom and help guide the
network.

Our Partners

The previous year has seen our Partners faced with many of the same challenges
we have encountered. They too have had to navigate the changing environment
within their own organisations, while at the same time continue to support and
believe in DWN. We couldn’t achieve what we do without our Partners.

DairyNZ’s support goes wide and deep for DWN and far more than just financial.
Through this partnership they have enabled DWN to support members to grow
and develop to be better employers, employees, business owners and connecting
communities. In turn a better diary industry.

Fonterra continues to support and invest in our future industry Leaders. Fonterra
Dairy Woman of the Year is one of our highlights for our members and the
industry. This year’s recipient, Belinda Price, represents how committed women
are within the industry.

For DWN, a partnership is not only about how we connect at a strategic level but
equally, a cultural fit and alignment between organisations. Shared beliefs, goals,
values, and aspirations ensure we move forward… together.

Together we collaborate and, to support our members to help them be the
absolute best they can be on their dairying journey.
