History
It all began in 2006 when three business women met on a regular basis for lunch - mortgage broker Suzanne Kent, Dianne Chalk from Hillross Fairy Meadow and Glenda Papac, a practice manager at Tony Papac & Associates.
In 2007 Suzanne went to the UK to live so Glenda and Delyse Del Turco took over with the brand changing to IWIB.
They grew IWIB by taking on subscribers (or members) and much needed sponsors.
With a young family and a growing accounting practice, Delyse stepped down as a director of IWIB in 2014. Glenda is now sole director and took on an advisory board - Margaret Biggs from Illawarra Disability Trust, Dianne Chalk from Hillross Fairy Meadow and Virginia Wren from Illawarra ITeC.

IBC a main sponsor
It should be 'busyness' not business because that is what it must feel like for most businesses whether small or large.
Illawarra Business Chamber (IBC), a chamber that is part of the NSW Business Chamber, is the main sponsor of the IWIB awards, as they are passionate about business too.
Working hard to make it easier for NSW businesses to do business is the role of the IBC.
Some of these services include:
Working for business, working for region
Your go-to source for starting a business
Helping business connections
Advocating for state and national issues
The business chamber helps with apprentices and trainees, business improvement, education, export support, human resources, legal advice, marketing, recruitment, workplace, health & safety, workplace relations and much more.
Whether it's goods, services or access to documentation, events, trade missions and connections, IBC do the hard work for you.
QUOTE
The Chamber has extensive international networks and works closely with foreign counterparts, governments and Australian exporters globally so businesses can tap into their network to take their own business overseas.
Just some some of the ways IBC can help your business succeed.
