Women in Supply Chain

Women in Supply Chain (WISC) is a voluntary group open to everyone working in, or studying, supply chain.

WISC is passionate about growing the capability and influence of women in supply chain roles, in any industry, across New Zealand.

Our mission is to leverage our expertise and network to increase the profile of women in supply chain careers and provide opportunities to connect. We hold events that provide opportunities to meet professionals who work in all areas of the supply chain. Our speakers share insights and learnings from their careers and roles in supply chain. If you are working in or studying Supply Chain Management, these events will enable you to learn more about the important role of the supply chain sector in New Zealand’s trade and domestic market. We encourage you to join our LinkedIn group, Women in Supply Chain.
