Altrusa International Inc. District Fifteen

Governor's Message - Welcome to District Fifteen

District Fifteen Governor Chris Mouter Welcome to the Altrusa International Inc. District Fifteen website.

We are an International organisation with over 11,000 members in many countries.

Altrusa was established in 1917 and our founder Mamie L Bass articulated ten principles, the first of which is a "Builder of Women". This is reflected by service programmes with an emphasis on community needs and literacy. Each Club works independently within their local area and is supported by their District. District Fifteen covers New Zealand and currently has 24 operational Clubs from Auckland to Invercargill Our organization, is now open to both men and women and continues to adapt its programmes and projects to the meet the current needs of our communities.

Altrusans place fellowship high on their agenda and meet with members from all clubs annually for workshops, conferences and leadership training. So if you feel you would like to be part of our wonderful organization that gives something back to each of our communities, please contact us, we would love to hear from you.
