NEXT CBN EVENT 11 SEPTEMBER 2025 

Guest Speaker: Leonie Guiney

Join us for our business lunch with Leonie Guiney. South Canterbury dairy farmer, Fonterra Director, business leader, and committed Catholic, as she shares her story of

holding fast to faith through life’s trials.

Leonie will speak candidly about the role of her Catholic faith and daily disciplines in sustaining her during challenging times, her sense of responsibility to “pay it forward” to the next generation, and the importance of acknowledging those who have supported her along the way. With reflections from her time on the board of Fonterra and life on the land, Leonie offers a compelling perspective on values-based leadership, perseverance, and community.

Don’t miss this opportunity to hear from one of New Zealand’s most grounded and courageous voices in agribusiness and faith.
