Meet our members

Get to know some of our New Zealand Women in Roofing (NZWiR) members from around the country.

As featured on our Facebook #meetthemembermonday series

Meet the Members is a series of bios, interviews or video uploads showcased each week, focusing on New Zealand Women in Roofing members and allys.

Our goal is to shine a light on and get to know the women and men in our NZWiR membership database. As women, we need a place to make friends and build relationships with other positive like-minded women and allys.

As well as featuring our members and allys on our Facebook page we will also feature them here for all to be able to get to know each other and reach out to others with certain skills if they need support, advice, or simply to network.
