The Nambucca Valley Women’s Business Network (NVWBN) enters its seventh year in a strong position after electing a new President and welcoming two new committee members.

Libby Foster, new President and one of the founding members for NVWBN, welcomes the opportunity to lead the successful group.

“We had our biggest year in 2024, with nine events, including our regular speaker meetings, our first International Women’s Day event, an all-women art exhibition, a social media workshop, and a sip and dine networking event,” said Ms Foster.

“All our committee members are volunteers, so we bring together these events around our work and family commitments, holding true to our vision of supporting, inspiring and empowering Nambucca Valley women – and in the process, being supported, inspired and empowered ourselves!”

Sara Runciman, outgoing President and one of the founding members of the group said she feels the group is in good hands.

“It’s very heartening to see that not only has the group got an experienced member as President, but we also have two new committee members who have both taken on roles within the committee in their first year,” said Ms Runciman.

“The last three years have seen some important groundwork laid for the group, including an opening up of our meeting structures, new branding, and from late last year, a website. I’m really looking forward to seeing what the group can do next!”

The NVWBN aims to support, inspire and empower business women in the Nambucca Valley, by offering  networking meetings, events and workshops, to share skills, offer mentoring opportunities and create a sense of community in a non-competitive environment.

The first meeting of the year will be a fun networking-style meeting at Alofa Sands cafe in Nambucca Heads on Thursday 13 February.
