<h2>Facilitated Session for Growth Members</h2>
<p><strong>These events are open to Growth Members Only</strong>. <a href="http://www.abn.org.au/site/membership-growth">Learn more about Growth Membership</a>.</p>
<hr size="1" noshade="noshade" />
<p><a href="http://www.abn.org.au/site/membership-growth">Australian Businesswomen&#8217;s Network Growth Members</a> are invited to attend the next quarterly Entrepreneurs&#8217; Roundtable. This facilitated session is an opportunity for women to address and discuss business issues and to focus the direction of their business development.</p>
<p>The Entrepreneurs&#8217; Roundtables are facilitated to bring to light key issues to be brainstormed and are forums for business brainstorming, collaboration and shared experiences.</p>
<p><strong>We believe that nobody understands the issues faced by business owners more than others that &#8216;walk in their shoes.&#8217; </strong>Meeting content focuses on strategic input into the member businesses and varies depending upon their interests and needs between Roundtables. You&#8217;ll have the opportunity to bring up &#8216;burning&#8217; issues to be discussed.</p>
<p>The Roundtables provide a confidential, non-competitive environment. Participation is on a first-come, first-served basis and places are limited.</p>
<h2>Want to Attend the Roundtables? Not a Growth Member?</h2>
