An evening with Laura from Real Country
This evening event starts at 6.30pm (doors opening at 5.30pm) and includes a sit down buffet meal, a presentation from our guest speaker Laura Koot and the opportunity to ask her questions about Real Country & The Fairlight Foundation
"Laura Koot left her corporate career to establish Real Country in 2016, an agritourism business showcasing rural New Zealand through farm shows and workshops. Despite losing everything during the pandemic, she co-founded The Fairlight Foundation in 2020, a 12-month internship program advancing women into rural leadership roles. Real Country is now thriving, and Laura balances her roles as Executive Director, business owner, mother, and community advocate, winning the 2023 Innovation Award at the NZI Rural Women Business Awards and being a finalist in the Primary Industry New Zealand Awards"
