About the event
Connected Leadership, in partnership with the team at Alberts, are proud to bring together four visionary CEOs for a powerful conversation on shaping the future of tamariki in Aotearoa.
As leaders in organisations dedicated to child and family wellbeing, they are rethinking traditional approaches and pioneering new ways to create meaningful impact.
This is not just a discussion about what needs to change. It’s about what’s already happening—and where we go next.
Our speakers represent both the long-standing legacy of child and family support in Aotearoa and new, innovative approaches making an impact today.
Fiona Kingsford – CEO, Whānau Āwhina Plunket - One of Aotearoa’s oldest organisations dedicated to child and family wellbeing
Sarah Manley – CEO, Mitey/Sir John Kirwan Foundation - Leading mental health education through a fresh, curriculum-embedded model
