Dairy Womens Network

Each generation of dairying women in New Zealand has faced their own set of challenges. Today’s dairy women are multi-talented, capable and influential. Many have professional skills in other disciplines which can be translated to their dairy farming business.

The Dairy Womens Network was established in 1998 by New Zealand dairying women, following the 2nd International Conference for Women in Agriculture held in Washington, DC. The Network's purpose is to develop and educate women, to add value to the business of dairying.

The Network’s growth has been rapid. Women have welcomed the professional and personal support it offers through activities such as conferences, Dairy Days, regional meetings and daily e-digest. Everything we do has been developed by dairying women to suit our busy lifestyles and communication styles.

Increasingly, the Network has become an influential industry participant and attracts significant support from sponsors and dairying organisations. That helps us add even more value to our members, so they can add more value to their business.
