Whangarei Business Womens Network
Whg Business Womens' Network
What’s the purpose of the network?
Our vision is a connected community of women helping women, and we do this by creating opportunities for women to connect in a safe and supportive space.
What happens at the WBWN?
Each month an event is held offering an opportunity for women in business to:
- Connect – with other businesswomen in Whangarei to create a vibrant community;
- Share – resources, information, leads and strategic alliances to up-level personally and professionally, and
- Grow community – where women can reach out and find support with ease, when they need it.
What makes the WBWN different from all the other networks?
There are many highly successful business networks operating in Whangarei. Many of these require a joining fee plus an annual membership fee and there’s often some form of regular attendance requirement. The WBWN is a ‘pay as you go’ option with no membership fees and no attendance requirements. As long as you pre-register for an event before the closing time, you’re on the guest list.
Who can attend the WBWN?
Any woman in business in Whangarei is welcome to attend, whether you’re working for yourself, in a partnership or working for an employer. There’s only one rule: Pay in advance by 5.00pm, the Thursday before the event and be aware there are no credits, transfers or refunds if you can’t attend. You can however, send a substitute in your place.
