Socket for June

Guess who's coming to see us?!

It's the Minister of Women's Affairs, the Minister for Small Business, and the Minister of Commerce - who's one in the same person. Perfect!

We warmly welcome the Hon. Lianne Dalziel to June's meeting and of course YOU! It's an absolute thrill to have this direct audience with the Minister, so come along to this very special Socket.

The minister will be talking about what the government is doing for small business, creative business and women in business.

It's also your chance to have a say: you'll be welcome to ask questions about government policy and plans for business, particularly as it relates to women in business. (That's you!).

The Minister's attendance at Socket will be timely considering that Paid Parental Leave for the Self Employed kicks off on 1 July. Under this new legislation passed in May, self-employed mothers will also be eligible for paid parental leave like employee mothers. Great news!

The Hon. Lianne Dalziel is an experienced Labour MP who has been in Parliament since 1990, Ms Dalziel first entered the Cabinet in 1999. She is also a former lawyer.

If you only come to one Socket, make it this one!
It'll be FASCINATING.

We love our new venue - Bambalina's Espresso Bar and Cafe at 35a Dixon Street - you'll find the entrance stairwell just up Dixon Lane on the left.

TIME: 5.00 – 7.00

We'd love to see you there, as well as your female friends and whanau. Please arrive early as we're expecting a crowd.
