IWIB is an energetic business networking group providing a professional networking platform for women who are dedicated to helping each other in building their networks which results in professional and personal growth.

IWIB director Glenda Papac said, “The main objective of IWIB is to provide women with a networking forum to strengthen their own networks, which in turn develops a strong network for business and personal contacts and support for those who regularly attend IWIB events.

“It’s about getting to know who we do business with and who we refer our clients and customers to.”

Illawarra Women in Business provides the Illawarra with dynamic business networking attracting women and men from a diverse range of businesses throughout the Illawarra, from home based sole traders to corporates.

Mrs Papac said, “At IWIB we provide first-class networking where women (and men) can network in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere.

“We want everyone to build and strengthen their own individual networks, to have a strong network of business and personal contacts dedicated to helping each other.”

Mrs Papac actively promotes corporate social responsibility amongst IWIB members, encouraging people to be more community minded.

IWIB supports a different local charity at each Networking Lunch event, at the IWIB Awards Day and also at the IWIB Conference Day.

Mrs Papac said, “We believe we have to give back to the community, it’s not all about our own gains.”

IWIB regularly invites high profile guest speakers with Turia Pitt a regular speaker at IWIB – Turia will be back at the end of the year telling us about life with her baby.

Also Dawn Fraser, Ian Thorpe, Matt Moran and Mark Bouris, with two more high profile speaker lunches still to come this year!

IWIB events are open to all to attend but there are many benefits if you do join IWIB which is about promoting and supporting IWIB members. Visit iwib.com.au.
