Bringing local women & local stories together

Connection is why weโ€™re here; it is what gives purpose and meaning to our lives.
โ€“ย Brene Brown

Community and Business Womenโ€™s Network

Community and Business Womenโ€™s Network (CBWN) was founded in 2018 with a straightforward purpose โ€“ to connect women on the Central Coast.

Though population in the area had significantly expanded in recent years, it was clear that opportunities for women to connect socially and professionally had not. CBWN is built upon the idea that bringing women together creates opportunities for growth, resilience and inspiration at business, community and personal levels. Through a mix of networking events, business showcases and professional development opportunities, CBWN has expanded rapidly to include close to 300 active members. It is open to all women who want to network, make friends, learn, share ideas and support local business.

If you are keen to connect with other Central Coast women in a relaxed and friendly setting, book a seat at our next event or join the CBWN Facebook group today!

Community and Business Womenโ€™s Network is a project of Iris Foundation.

Testimonials

“Itโ€™s such a warm positive environment. Everyone can come. Whetheryouโ€™rein business, a community organisation, starting your own business or a work from home mum, this is the place.”

Crystal Russom, Southern Crossย Austereoย 

“The fact that you may begin the meeting asย strangersย but you end up having a whole range of other friends. If you want to meet and engage with people who have a passion for their community, a passion for their vision, then you should come here.ย 

Fran Cummings, Kids Day Outย 

The best experienceย Iโ€™veย had being part of this group is probably the networking and connections that Iโ€™ve been able to build really quick from the get-go. Come along because thereโ€™s such a sense of support and connection and community that you just canโ€™t find anywhere else.ย 

Kristen Budd, General Manager, Southern Crossย Austereoย 

“Itโ€™sย grown to a massive supportive community.ย Iโ€™veย met so many different women and I canโ€™t believe the growth thatโ€™s happened. Weโ€™re all the same, weโ€™re all here for the same reasons and itโ€™s OK if you donโ€™t know anybody.ย 

Lindsey Clarke,ย Hotondoย Homes Toukleyย 

I do like toย socializeย and it does become harderย to get outย as you get busy in workย and family life. I was one of the firstย Sparkleย Events and that really got my business out there.ย 

Nathalieย Ainsworth, Ainsworth Accountingย 

Itโ€™sย inspiring. Every time you hear a storyย every week you take a little bit from it that makes it be OK to be you.

Kathryn Wilke,ย Xcllusiveย Business Salesย
