Meet your facilitator: Cas CarterWhen she was at university, Cas Carter was asked to study a children’s book as part of her political science degree. That book was Alice in Wonderland. Little did she know that many years later, the commentary and wisdom of Lewis Carroll would stand her in good stead for her career, particularly in the public sector. Cas has an extensive background in general management, corporate communications, public relations, and marketing. She has had a range of senior roles in education, science, innovation and tourism in the public and private sector covering all the vagaries of marketing, communication, sales, and fundraising. She has also worked in the Beehive as a private secretary in New Zealand’s parliament and a journalist and newsreader. Cas has held a number of board roles including on the Wellington Chamber of Commerce, Kapiti College Board of Trustees, Business Central and the Wellington Homeless Women’s Trust. She has been a regular radio panellist and media columnist.
