Participants in the mentor programme receive ten hours of one on one support from experienced governance practitioners. Most women in the mentor programme have recently secured roles on boards in the sector.

These awards are part of Sport New Zealand's ongoing programme designed to support women in governance roles in the sector and to improve the gender balance on the boards of sporting organisations.
