OUR MARCH EVENT

Back by popular demand...

Our power panel back in April of last year was a hugely popular event, and in our survey feedback many members have told us they want to hear more from our very own SBWN constituency. 

So for our March event we have five speakers lined up, drawn from the rich and diverse membership of the Southern Business Women's Network.

Kate Edwards Kate works in the tourism industry. With a senior management role in a family run Holiday Park business, she is responsible for marketing, public relations, human resources and the day to day running of three parks. Kate is also busy working on bigger picture projects with many local and regional tourism bodies.

Sue Fleming Sue first entered the finance industry back in 1986 when she joined NAB as a clerk and worked her way through the ranks, honing her financial and customer service skills along the way. Sue left to start a family and has now transferred her skill set to an administration and bookkeeping business of her own. Sue sees her role as that of educator, helping her clients simplify many of the often complex compliance tasks of running a business.
