women work it out

Last week saw the regular quarterly forum and expo for the Eastern Business Women’s Network. The network is a collaboration between Yarra Ranges, Knox and Maroondah. The day included three keynote speakers who spoke with much enthusiasm and honesty about their journey in setting up their businesses.

The speakers, Meaghan Grace - The Functional Beverage Company, Organic Tea Specialist, Kirsten Laken - Spirit Of Glass, Glass Art Design and Lauren Wilson – Moskito Blue, Fashion Store were passionate about their businesses and in their own unique ways have persevered through many triumphs and tribulations to get to where they are today.

It was wonderful to see such energy and enthusiasm from speakers and participants alike. I look forward to the next forum which promises to be as rewarding as past events. If you’d like to keep up with what’s happening in the Yarra Ranges Business Network you can find us on
