DWN celebrates 25 years
Dairy Women’s Network (DWN) recently celebrated 25 years with 70 of its members and partners, past and present, at an event at Red Barn, Waikato.
The Dairy Women’s Network (DWN) has joined forces with Landpro for its Dairy Women’s Network 2023 conference (DWN2023).
Landpro have been announced as a naming rights partner for the conference.
The Landpro DWN2023 conference will be held in Invercargill on 3 and 4 May 2023.
DWN chief executive Jules Benton says the conference is a chance to connect, learn and share while celebrating the dairy industry and its people.
“Having Landpro as our naming rights partner aligned with this perfectly,” she says.
“Landpro’s values to be collaborative, honest and be your best (and have fun along the way) resonated with DWN and our conference theme this year to be Brighter. Braver. Bolder.
“No matter where each of us are in the supply chain, we are all working together,” says Benton.
Landpro chief executive Jason Harvey-Wills says the company is excited to partner with DWN and support the conference.
“We’ve been working for more than 15 years to empower farmers on their business journey, and see, every day, the work of these tireless women. They are an inspiration,” he says.
“More than half of our employees are fantastic, high-achieving women too and this was just another reason we strongly support DWN. We are looking forward to connecting with women in the industry at the DWN2023 conference,” Harvey-Mills says.
