Dairy Women's Network chief stepping down
Dairy Women's Network chief executive Zelda de Villiers will step down from her role in May.
There are just two weeks left to nominate someone for the Dairy Women's Network's Dairy Woman of the Year Awards.
DWN chief executive Zelda de Villiers said the award celebrates women who are making a difference in the dairy industry, in their dairy businesses, and in their communities.
"Dairying women play a vital role in their businesses, not to mention their communities. We know amongst our members we have real talent, passion and drive and we want to develop and reward those women for what they offer to the industry," de Villers said.
Sponsored by Fonterra, the award includes the chance to attend the 12-month Breakthrough Leaders Programme run by Global Women, worth $25,000.
Finalists will be individually interviewed in December by a panel of five judges including representatives from DWN, Fonterra, Global Women, DWN gold partner ASB and 2013 award winner Justine Kidd.
Nominations close on 15 November 2014 and the winner will be announced at the gala dinner at the DWN annual conference on 18 March 2015 in Invercargill.
