About Us
Founding members joined together to establish the Northland Women's Club in 2023 which grew rapidly from 12 to 190 members within the first 12 months.
Our first event, NWC Charity Ball raised an impressive $61,655 for The Breast Cancer Foundation of NZ for Northland. A huge success!

Our Purpose
A growing network of experienced Northland businesswomen and community leaders focused on sharing experience and knowledge of building successful businesses and careers with each other including women in the earlier stages of their journey. With a supportive network built on strength, experience, purpose and enjoyment of life, amazing personal and community outcomes happen. The Northland Women's Club will host quarterly networking luncheons, an annual major charity event and regular ‘pop up’ and support events.
