Dianne Glenn, founding member of BPW Franklin and Life Member of BPW Franklin now also has the honour of being a Life Member of BPW NZ.

Kiwi Women Lead The World - Suffrage 125
It is to be a diverse and inclusive event and we would encourage everyone to talk about it and become part of the event. There will be no floats in the parade, banners are encouraged - start thinking about what you would like to see.
There are lots of ideas being generated within the Franklin community and from many organisations involved to date. For more information please contact Virginia (vvwarren@ps.gen.nz) or Hansa or join the Facebook group 'Kiwi Women Leading the World - Suffrage 125 ( Franklin)'. Red Bag Day 15 February 2018
Red Bag Day marks the period of extra days in the current year which women need to work to achieve the same wages that men earned during the previous financial year. The day recognises how much longer women have to work to earn the same as men in one year. The day is marked in many countries around the world and the day varies depending on the gender gap in any particular country. Equal pay for work of equal value is not just about women getting the same pay as men for the same job, but also women getting the same pay as men for doing a different but comparable job. That is, a job involving comparable skills, years of training, responsibility, effort and working conditions.
