Guests can look forward to hearing the powerful voice of Wollongong's blues, soul and jazz queen Kerrie Sweeney at this year's IWIB Business Women's Awards Day.
Kerrie's diverse, powerhouse vocals allow her to deliver memorable performances. She leaves audiences mesmerised by her "spine-tingling" renditions or will have them jumping out of their seats during her up-tempo numbers.
Whether you are a business owner, business manager or an employee who has made a significant contribution to the success of the business - The IWIB Illawarra Business Women's Awards are for you!
IWIB director Glenda Papac said, "We recognise the talents of women who are establishing themselves as excellent role models for young women in our community.
"These finalists are at the forefront of their field for their exceptional skills in their businesses and careers - their expertise, leadership, mentorship and their commitment to our community is invaluable to our community.
"Once again the judges have had an exceptionally difficult task interviewing and narrowing it down to one winner - we thank the judges again for giving up their own valuable time during the judging process."
The top two categories always attract a lot of interest.
IWIB Young Business Woman of the Year 2019 is proudly sponsored by IMB Business Banking while IWIB Best Business 2019 is proudly sponsored by Hutchinson Builders.

Awards keep on growing
IWIB director Glenda Papac said the number of finalists keeps growing every year. "Last year we had 38 individual finalists and this year 43 for the 11th annual awards. And many enter more than one category."
The annual awards started over two decades ago with just two categories and has grown to a wide range of categories to recognise excellence.
"Entering awards are a vital part of your personal and professional development and gives those entering the opportunity to analyse themselves and their business - which in turn can help you develop professionally," Glenda said.
"Awards are a fantastic way to build your reputation as a business person. They offer credibility to clients, are great for networking, and raise the profile of your organisation.
"Winning an award is a prestigious addition to your business."
