On Friday, 10 May 2024, the Nimbin Chamber of Commerce hosted another inspiring Women in Business event at the Church of Aquarius in Nimbin. With 21 women in attendance, the evening featured an engaging session led by Jane Laverty, Regional Director, Northern Rivers, Business NSW.
The event began with an opening circle, allowing each member to introduce herself, share her offerings, and discuss current achievements, projects, or needs. This introductory segment, limited to one minute per person, fosters a strong sense of community and ensures everyone has the chance to be heard.
Jane Laverty's presentation was a highlight of the evening. She shared her personal journey, discussing how she balances career and family life, which resonated deeply with the audience. Her talk was interactive, providing an opportunity for attendees to voice political concerns and gain valuable insights from Janes extensive experience.
As a passionate advocate for the sustainable development of our region, Jane emphasised the importance of unity, prioritisation, and basing initiatives on factual data for effective communication and action.
The event concluded with a draw for the lucky door prize; featuring vouchers generously donated by Amanda Trang, Bozena Warzecha, and Aline Binetruy. This initiative not only added excitement to the evening but also highlighted the diverse offerings within our community.
The success of this event underscores the importance of maintaining this connection and meeting space for women in business. We look forward to continuing these gatherings and fostering a supportive and dynamic network.
