Women in Business celebrates one-year anniversary

Women in Business Network celebrates one-year anniversary

More than 65 women attended the Women in Business Network on Wednesday 25 August 2010 to celebrate the first anniversary of the group, supported by the Kapiti Coast Chamber of Commerce and Nature Coast Enterprise.

Special guest speaker on the night was Karen Fifield, CEO of Wellington Zoo who was winner of ‘HER NZ Outstanding Business Leader 2010’. Karen inspired everyone with her message of following your dreams and passions and her insight on how she has run the zoo like a business since becoming CEO, to ensure its economic sustainability.

Founding members Lyn Barrow, Chamber of Commerce and Helene Judge, Nature Coast Enterprise cut the anniversary cake. Lyn said that “it was great seeing their vision for the network coming to fruition and the positive feedback from those attending was very gratifying. People notice and can feel the positive energy within the group and are very comfortable in the friendly environment”. Helene comments, “relaxed networking, business profiling and professional development are high on the radar of business women who attend the network”.
