BPW New Zealand: President, Angela McLeod stepped up to the challenge in 2009 when the National’s Minister of Labour Kate Wilkinson announced the disestablishment of the Pay and Employment Equity Unit on the 30 June 2009.  Representatives from various organisations including: the Auckland Women’s Centre, NZ Council of Trade Unions, NZ Meat Workers Union and Rural Women to name a few, formed the Pay Equity Challenge Coalition and Angela McLeod became the Chairperson and spokesperson. 

Her work during this period has raised the public profile of BPWNZ, the gender pay gap and the reduction of women in leadership roles over the last two years.    An example of some of the press releases and TV reports presented over the last year.
