Whangarei Business Womens Network
Whg Business Womens' Network
What’s the purpose of the network?
To create a vibrant, connected, and supportive business community in Whangarei to stimulate and encourage individual and business growth.
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
- Share business cards, flyers and a chat
- Learn from a local woman in business – topics are relevant to creating a successful business
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.
How do I find out about monthly events?
Events are held on the 3rd Monday of each month, February through to November each year.
