Lighting the Spark: A Wāhine in Energy Couch Conversation

Ngākau Hihiko Canterbury Hub is proud to host our first event, bringing people together to build connections and help shape what comes next for our local community.

Join us for an inspiring couch conversation with members of our committee as they share what motivates them, what inspires their mahi, and why they are passionate about supporting wāhine in energy. You’ll hear from Evie Trolove, Head of Market and Customer Innovation at Orion NZ Ltd, Sarah Hutchison, Electricity Supply Manager for Meridian Energy in the Waitaki Valley, and Eve O’Brien, Internal Engagement and Communications Lead for Alpine Energy.

After the conversation, there’ll be plenty of time for open Q&A, networking, and a chance to share your ideas on the future direction of the Ngākau Hihiko Canterbury Hub.

Expect thoughtful kōrero, a welcoming atmosphere, and drinks and nibbles to kick things off.

This event is open to all. Whether you’re already part of the Ngākau Hihiko network or simply curious to learn more, it’s a great opportunity to connect, contribute, and be part of the conversation.
