Australian Businesswomen’s Network
Welcome to herBusiness Blog, the official blog of the Australian Businesswomen’s Network
I’m Suzi Dafnis, Community Director of the Australian Businesswomen’s Network.
Whether you’re living in a large city or running your business from a small country town in this vast country, we believe that all business women should have access to good information, education, resources and to each other.
The Australian Businesswomen’s Network (ABN) is the place where business women from all over Australia (and beyond) connect, collaborate and learn. It is a network of focused and savvy business women who contribute to, and benefit from, belonging to a vibrant and growing community.
A membership organisation, we exist to server our members. The ABN harnesses today’s technology to provide education, inspiration, mentoring and network for women, often without them having to leave their desk!
If you’re facing any of these challenges then membership to the ABN is for you:
- You love running your business – but sometimes feel isolated
