A local network for women in business in Beachlands, Maraetai and the wider Pohutukawa Coast. We meet monthly to connect, learn from each other and from great guest speakers, and support one another’s businesses.

Started in October 2026 by Victoria Syddall and Dawn Engelbrecht, the network is the first regional group of ORCA Women.

Next catch-up: Tuesday 8 December, 5pm to 7pm, upstairs at the Maraetai Beach Boating Club.

Founding membership is $75 for 12 months and gets you member prices at every catch-up.

In the news

Our first networking morning made the front page of the Pohutukawa Coast Times. Twenty-one women came along to Formosa to help shape what the network will become.
