Sunshine Coast Business Women's Network

International Women’s Month (aka IWD2025) has shone the light once again on the wonderful contribution women make to our business, social and economic landscape.
 
I was delighted that so many in our community came together to mark the annual IWD event, albeit rescheduled due to recent weather impacts in SEQ - it shows us that the importance of IWD annually continues to be relevant and that our commitment as a collective to drive the agenda of and for women, is of upmost importance.
 
International Women’s Day is a time to reflect, celebrate, and drive change. This year’s theme is Accelerate Action and as we march forward together to do our part in the global movement, we are reminded that we are more powerful together. It is important to recognise the advancements made by so many tenacious and talented women, while acknowledging the work still required to create an environment where all women can thrive.
 
The Sunshine Coast Business Women’s Network is a proud advocate for women, we are focused on creating opportunities and design and deliver platforms to support our members growth. We have a thriving membership and deliver benefits that help our member identify their strengths, connect with opportunities to address additional skill needs, and surround themselves with women who will support and foster their individual and business journey. Our network has a rich history of women supporting women and I can see a very bright future - join us as we continue our important work.
 
No doubt you heard the other big news – Awards Season is open! We proudly announced the launch of our 2025 Sunshine Coast Business Woman of the Year Awards at our IWD celebrations. I encourage you to nominate a woman who is doing great things, sometimes we just need to help our friends get out there and find different ways of showcasing the amazing work they are already doing. Nominate here: Sunshine Coast Business Woman of the Year Awards Open.
 
If you were fortunate enough to join us at the IWD breakfast you would have heard me say this: “This room is genuinely full of women, who without thinking twice will mention your name if a room full of opportunities. Continually and consciously uplifting each other – and that is powerful progress”. Never more true given the awards nominations are now open.
 

I invite you to join us and support, uplift, and champion the next generation of female leaders. Remember that IWD is no just a moment, it’s a movement so let’s get going!

With gratitude,

Paula
