The RAW journey – leadership and governance with Annah Stretton

Overview

The Auckland branch invites all IoD branches to attend this event.

Founded in 2014 by fashion designer and entrepreneur Annah Stretton, RAW was set up to help break New Zealand’s ever-growing cycle of intergenerational offending, educational underachievement, persistent poverty and violence for a group of disadvantaged women. Through inclusion, community and opportunity, RAW is building hope, purpose and prosperity one woman at a time.

Annah will join us to speak about what inspired her to start RAW and the challenges and triumphs faced in developing this charitable organisation from a leadership and governance perspective.
