UPDATE: May 17 - This Event has now Sold Out please email info@nzwomen.co.uk to go on the waiting list. Wow - that was the fastest sell out ever! 9 Hours flat.

The New Zealand Business Women's Network is turning two in June and we’d like you to come along and celebrate a special evening of inspiration, connecting and great food.

We have totally booked out Kopapa and would like you to join us.

The night will start with a welcome drink of New Zealand wine. Peter Gordon will introduce some of his Kopapa team and sous chef – a New Zealand woman who won the culinary challenge a couple of years ago who will explain what will be on the menu and speak a little more about the Kopapa menu in general.

For the two course dinner Peter and his chefs will serve a selection of their exquisite tapas to be shared amongst the tables, followed by your own choice of main course from the menu created for the night. If you're still feeling peckish you can order one of Kopapa's lovely desserts as an extra course although you will need to pay for this as an extra.

Peter will give a talk about his latest venture Kopapa, charitable work and where he finds his inspiration with the odd business tip thrown in.

Our recent survey showed us you wanted a lot more time to Network so we have built this into the evening.

We will finish between 9 -9.30pm however you are free to stay on and purchase more wine, coffee and desserts and network further with new and old friends. From 9.30pm Kopapa will be opened to the general public.

The Kopapa team are very excited to host us and looking forward to an enjoyable, inspirational evening.

UPDATE 5 MAY: SORRY WE HAVE SOLD OUT - Why not try getting tickets for one of our Spring/Summer coffee shop small networking events.

Do you aspire to lead or contribute to the board of a private, public sector or charitable organisation? Do you want to hear personal and business insights from a successful New Zealand business woman who has been on numerous boards here in London?

On Monday the 16th of May the New Zealand Business Women’s Network is running an event for all network members that are interested in progressing to a more senior level of responsibility in an organisation, whether it is private or public sector or a charitable organisation. This can include those women wanting to become members on Boards or Committees or just wanting to achieve a more senior role in an organisation.

We have Sadly Sold Out.

thumbnail.aspxDame Judith Mayhew Jonas DBE, a New Zealand-born British lawyer and academic, will be speaking and opening up the discussion for the evening. Dame Judith rose from practicing as an employment lawyer to become Special Adviser to the Chairman at Clifford Chance, the world's largest law firm, before resigning to concentrate on her other roles. In 2006 she was appointed to the Board of Directors of Merrill Lynch. She served as Provost of King's College, Cambridge from 2003-2005. She has also been closely involved in the running of the City of London since 1986. She was awarded the DBE (Dame Commander of the Order of the British Empire) in 2002 "for services to the City of London". These are just some of Dame Judith’s achievements. For more details see:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Judith_Mayhew

Following a general Q&A session with Dame Judith, there will be small table discussions on a wide variety of areas relating to women being in Board positions. Each table will have at least one person who has Board experience and they will lead discussions on an area they have a keen interest or expertise in. If there is a particular topic you are interested to hear about or discuss, then please email info@nzwomen.co.uk and we will try to ensure that there is a discussion around your interest.

We are very fortunate to have Louise Taylor from Taylor Wessing host us for the evening at their offices at 5 New Street Square, EC4A 3TW. The event will start at 6:30pm with drinks and nibbles, with the formal proceedings kicking off at 7:00pm. We will be finished and by 9:30pm.
