Northland woman selected for international economic change workshop
Ms Price, who is the CEO for Amokura Iwi Consortium Ltd, will be attending the workshop alongside female community leaders from a range of other countries.
The intensive four-week workshop is designed to empower women in the not-for-profit and civil society sector with leadership, technical and professional skills, as well as to provide the opportunity to exchange best practice and experience.

Andrew McNaught, Country Manager for Mobil Oil New Zealand, said he had been particularly impressed with Rangimarie’s application, which highlighted her dedication to advancing the economic and leadership opportunities available to Māori women in Northland.
“It’s a really exciting opportunity for Rangimarie, and we believe her participation in the Global Women in Management Programme (GWIM) will greatly benefit the iwi she serves, as well as the wider Northland community,” said Mr McNaught.
“It’s proven that increasing leadership amongst women helps to catalyse economic growth. Not only that, but programs such as GWIM can have a powerful multiplier effect that benefits the entire community.”
Ms Price expressed her gratitude for the opportunity, and said her role with Amokura Iwi Consortium Ltd meant she was in a unique position to share learnings with other Māori women, as her role gave her access to a diverse range of female leaders.
“I am humbled that I have been selected out of what I am sure is an outstanding group of women who are doing wonderful things to advance female leadership,” said Ms Price.
“It’s fantastic to have this opportunity to develop my leadership skills, which I will be able to share across the collective Iwi-sphere in Northland.”

GWIM is supported by the ExxonMobil Foundation’s Women’s Economic Opportunity Initiative, which was launched in 2005 to help women fulfil their economic potential and drive economic and social change in their communities.
2017 represents just the second year Mobil had been able to send a representative from New Zealand to attend the programme.
In April 2016, Herena Stone (Canterbury) and Riri Ellis (Bay of Plenty) attended the regional Asia-Pacific GWIM program in Jakarta, and Ngaria Rolleston (Bay of Plenty) attended the global program in Washington DC in July 2016.
Ms Ellis and Ms Rolleston also attended a follow-up workshop in Washington DC earlier this year.
The workshop focussed on “designing and facilitating step-down trainings” that would help the women to pass on the skills they learned through GWIM.
With ExxonMobil’s support, GWIM has provided training for more than 880 women from 77 countries around the world. Mobil Oil New Zealand is proud to have been able to extend the Global Women in Management program to women and communities in New Zealand.
