Counting for Change The 2017 New Zealand Census of Women on Boards is the initiative of two researchers, Professor Judy McGregor, Head of School of Social Sciences & Public Policy at AUT, and Dr Rosanne Hawarden, businesswoman, director and currently Chair of Governance New Zealand Inc. This New Zealand Women on Boards research project is a census of women directors on the boards of public companies listed on the main board of the New Zealand Stock Exchange as at the end of January 2017.
