Big year for community and business women’s network

The Community and Business Women’s Network (CBWN) continues to go from strength to strength, connecting and supporting women in business all over the region.

Spokesperson Sharyn Becker said 2022 had been a big year for the network, which was launched in May, 2018.

“In February we celebrated our 50th CBWN event since commencing in 2018 and in March we participated in the Central Coast Festival of Women Expo at The Entrance,” she said.

“March and April saw Social Media Masterclass Workshops and a Small Business Month support event in Gosford on rebuilding, recharging and renewing our businesses after COVID.

“In May we celebrated our fourth CBWN birthday with a huge birthday cake thanks to sponsor Event Cinemas Tuggerah and had a fabulous Business After Hours Sparkle event with Closet Essentials Erina.

“From June to August we hosted our monthly network luncheons at Mingara Recreation Club Tumbi Umbi and Angel Sussurri in the Yarramalong Valley, with the kangaroos on the road trip out to the valley a beautiful bonus.

“In September we collaborated with Central Coast Women’s Health Centre to present NSW Women’s Health Week at Ettalong Beach and at our October luncheon we welcomed our 500th CBWN member – Lauren Poole of Fortunity.

“In November we partnered with Coastal Towns Business Chamber – Upper Central Coast to present a Small Business Month Expo in Toukley, with more than 100 local Central Coast businesses coming together to showcase their products and services, network, connect and learn from expert panelists.

“In December we celebrated our final luncheon event at Wyong Race Club to a full house.”

Becker said the network had welcomed more than 60 new members this year, with lots planned for 2023.

The first luncheon of the new year will be held on February 2 at Lakes Beach Surf Club Budgewoi.
