From the Chair of WOA

Women on Air held a fun filled and successful auction on Friday night and would like to thank some of the people who helped make it such a success.

Without you, we couldn’t have done it. Without you, we could not have raised the funds we need to stay on air.

First of all, we thank Michael Lee Richards for allowing us to use the Small Kitchen School. Not only is it a delightful venue but every effort was made to ensure it was ready for us – thank you, Alan Overton for you help and for your donation of a dinner for two. Michael also donated four very sought after cooking class places. Thank you both for your support.

Many people donated goods for the auction and some we can’t thank ‘officially’ but you know how much we appreciate your support. Thank you again. Our sincere thanks to the people and organisations who generously donated goods or services to auction.

    The September 2004 issue of Pänui is now available on the Ministry of Women's Affairs website.

    Panui

    In this issue we look at:

  • what Kiwi's are saying about work-life balance as reported in the report released by the government's Work-Life Balance Project

  • women's participation in governance and professional life in New Zealand with the first Census undertaken by the Human Rights Commission and New Zealand Centre for Women and Leadership showing a "chronic under-utilisation" of women's skills and talents in governance of top companies in the private sector

  • women's participation in local government and a campaign to encourage women to exercise their right to vote as part of Suffrage Day celebrations

    Over the next two months Shenagh Gleisner, Ministry of Women's Affairs Chief Executive, will be holding a number of meetings throughout New Zealand to discuss the Action Plan for New Zealand Women.

    For details of upcoming meetings see the Ministry of Women's Affairs website Panuiwww.mwa.govt.nz/cont_wm.html#actionplan
