WIN Auckland, in partnership with Tonkin + Taylor and Arup, warmly invite you to come along to our first event of the year. This year we are supporting Dress for Success whose mission is to empower women to achieve economic independence by providing a network of support, professional attire and the development tools to help women thrive in work and in life.

Our speakers for the evening are Andrea Brabant, Technical Director of Planning for Tonkin and Taylor and Liz Halsted, Urban and Transport Planner for Arup who will give their perspectives on the challenges and opportunities for planning for liveable and sustainable cities such as Auckland.

Following this, we will hear Margot Minett Earwaker, Board Chairwoman, speak about the mission of Dress for Success and the positive contribution it has made to helping women get back into the workforce. We also invite Dita Russel, Liability Claim Specialist, speak about her story and her experience with Dress for Success; and how her journey begins.

This social event will be a fantastic way to broaden your professional and personal networks - you'll find a great mix of people from a variety of sectors in the infrastructure industry. Please come along and support WIN and Dress for Success.

Networking and refreshments to follow, provided thanks to the generosity of our sponsor Arup.

Each year, Infrastructure New Zealand leads a delegation of senior public and private sector leaders overseas to explore new ideas and approaches to delivering infrastructure. In March 2019, we are pleased to announce that we will be travelling to Singapore, Hong Kong, Beijing and Shanghai to investigate:

1. Road pricing
2. Integrated transport and urban development
3. New cities development
4. National, regional and city planning
   

WIN Northland in partnership with Fulton Hogan warmly invite you to our first event of the year. Nicola Hartwell from WRMK Lawyers, will provide a presentation on liability under the Health & Safety at Work Act 2015, followed by a mock scenario demonstrating how a prosecution would unfold in court. 

This event will promote thought on the balance that should be struck to eliminate or reduce risks in the workplace, together with an insight into the court process following a breach of the Act. The audience will act as the jury as we put one of our WIN Northland committee members on the stand.

The evening will be a great eye opener as well as a fun and interactive social event. Come and see whether the defendant is found guilty or not guilty and what the consequences of failing to follow simple Health and Safety rules can result in.

Networking and refreshments will follow, provided thanks to the generosity of our sponsor Fulton Hogan.
