2026年7月21日｜新西兰华人每日资讯网
新西兰妇女事务部长（Minister for Women）Nicola Grigg表示，政府支持的女性董事人才数据库BoardConnector发展势头强劲，注册人数已远超首年增长目标，反映越来越多女性希望参与公共及私营机构董事会治理。
Grigg表示，2025年6月，她要求妇女事务部（Ministry for Women）在2025/26财年内，将BoardConnector数据库成员人数增加20%，即新增160名成员。这一目标在今年3月便已提前完成。
随着新版BoardConnector平台正式推出，截至目前，数据库又新增了349名注册成员，使总人数超过1,140人，远高于原定目标。
她指出：
“这表明新西兰拥有一支实力雄厚的女性治理人才队伍，越来越多女性已准备好将自己的专业知识、丰富经验和领导能力贡献给公共及私营机构董事会。”
女性领导力有助提升国家竞争力
Grigg表示，女性领导人在推动经济生产力、增强国家长期增长及社会韧性方面发挥着重要作用。
她说：
“BoardConnector帮助更多董事会接触并吸纳女性所带来的专业能力、丰富经验以及多元视角，为机构治理注入新的活力。”
提供董事培训与职位机会
BoardConnector不仅是一项人才数据库，同时也是女性进入董事会的重要平台。
平台主要提供：
董事会职位资讯；
治理（Governance）培训及发展机会；
女性治理人才网络；
公共部门及私人机构董事职位信息。
无论是刚开始接触董事会工作的女性，还是已有丰富治理经验的人士，都可以通过BoardConnector寻找合适的发展机会。
新目标：未来一年再增长20%
基于目前的发展成果，新西兰政府已设定新的目标：
未来一年继续推动BoardConnector成员增加20%，预计至少再新增230名女性加入数据库，进一步扩大女性治理人才储备。
支持政府实现董事会性别平衡
目前，新西兰政府的目标是：
50%的王室（Crown）机构董事会任命由女性担任。
BoardConnector数据库已成为政府物色董事会候选人的重要来源之一。
近期通过该平台获得重要任命的女性包括：
Rowena Davenport——Sport New Zealand（新西兰体育局）副主席；
Gina Mills——Sport New Zealand董事会成员；
Alaina Kalyan——Dental Council（牙科委员会）健康执业成员。
新闻点评
近年来，新西兰持续推动董事会和公共机构的性别多元化，希望让更多女性参与国家治理和企业决策。BoardConnector的快速发展显示，越来越多女性愿意投身治理工作，也为公共机构、国有企业及私营企业提供了更广泛的人才选择。
政府认为，提升女性在董事会中的代表性，不仅有助于促进性别平等，也能提升机构决策质量、创新能力和长期治理水平。
The Ministry for Women’s database linking women with governance opportunities has more than doubled its first-year growth target as demand grows from women seeking board roles across New Zealand, Minister for Women Nicola Grigg says.
“In June last year, I set the Ministry for Women a target to grow its governance database by 20 percent, or 160 members, during the 2025/26 financial year. That target was met by March this year, and following the launch of the refreshed BoardConnector database, it has received 349 new registrations.
“The database now has more than 1,140 members, showing there is a strong pipeline of women ready to contribute their skills, experience and leadership to boards across the public and private sectors,” Ms Grigg says.
“Women leaders play a critical role in a productive economy and New Zealand’s long-term growth and resilience. BoardConnector is helping ensure more boards can access the skills, experience and perspectives women bring,” Ms Grigg says.
BoardConnector supports women at different stages of their governance journey by connecting them with information, development opportunities and board vacancies.
Building on that momentum, the Ministry has set a new target to grow BoardConnector by a further 20 percent over the next year, opening the door for at least 230 more women to connect with governance opportunities.
The Government has a target of 50 percent of Crown appointments being held by women, and candidates for these appointments can be drawn from the database.
Recent appointments of BoardConnector members include Rowena Davenport as Deputy Chair of Sport New Zealand, Gina Mills as a board member of Sport New Zealand, and Alaina Kalyan as a health practitioner member of the Dental Council.
