Once in a lifetime opportunity for Kiwi American Football leader in the US! 🇳🇿🇺🇸
New Zealand American Football Federation - NZAFF programme manager Shernice Henry is currently in the US for the 2026 Global Sports Mentoring program – Women in sports cohort. The U.S. Department of State sport diplomacy programme is a five-week, immersive mentorship exchange programme that places international sport leaders with top American sport executives.
“I came ready to learn and be a sponge. I wanted to experience leading sports organisations first-hand and understand how their different functions work together to create success,” says Shernice.
Shernice was placed with the Minnesota Vikings for her first placement and is now with NFL Films.
“I’m feeling motivated by what I’ve seen and learnt so far, and I hope the knowledge and connections I bring home will help lift and elevate the state of American football in New Zealand.”
“This opportunity is bigger than me; it’s about creating better opportunities for others and for the game.”

This year’s Climate Week in New York was dubbed the largest ever, with more than 100,000 participants. New Zealand Embassy Agricultural Attaché Adam Van Opzeeland and Second Secretary Shea-Lee Phillips joined panel discussions and leadership sessions over the week, including on government, business and civil society climate action.

“The week highlighted that climate action remains a significant priority despite increasingly complex operating environments,” said Shea-Lee.

For Shea-Lee, this year’s Climate Week marked her first time attending, so the goal was to connect with participants from across the public, private and civil-society sectors.

“Climate Week provides a concentrated opportunity to take stock of evolving climate developments, convening policymakers, business leaders, and civil society in one place. It is particularly valuable for understanding how various actors are responding to shifts, while identifying emerging themes and opportunities relevant to New Zealand, including climate resiliency, energy security, climate finance and supply chains.”

Agricultural Attaché Adam van Opzeeland attended events focused on food and agriculture. The scale of climate week provided useful insight into what commercial purchasers and consumers are demanding of their food supply chains, and how New Zealand’s farming credentials can be better recognised and rewarded in-market.

Adam said it was encouraging to see the collective energy of actors along the supply chain who want to see on-farm action converted to market returns – including the importance of embracing technology for traceability and transparency.

“What stood out this year was a recognition that while concepts like regenerative agriculture are clearly appealing to consumers, the challenge now is to better establish criteria and accountability around credence claims so that consumers can trust the integrity of labels at the point of purchase.”
