NATIONAL SPOTLIGHT ON LOCAL WOMEN IN BUSINESS
Entrepreneurs from every county to take part in ‘National Women’s Enterprise Day’ in November.
Local female entrepreneurs from all over the country are invited to join fellow entrepreneurs in Westmeath on November 20th, to mark ‘National Women’s Enterprise Day,’ which is the biggest enterprise initiative of its kind in Ireland.
Organised by the 35 County and City Enterprise Boards, the annual conference and networking event is now in its third year, co-funded by the European Social Fund and the Irish Exchequer. One of the aims of ‘National Women’s Enterprise Day’ is to seek recognition for the role of female entrepreneurship in Ireland, by showcasing enterprise success and putting female-owned microenterprises into the national spotlight.
Georgina Sweetnam, Chairperson of the Organising Committee is encouraging locally-based business women to take up the opportunity of attending the conference and networking session: “We have an impressive line-up of keynote speakers and case study entrepreneurs, in addition to a one-to-one mentoring clinic for all delegates. Based on positive feedback from last year’s delegates, the conference will give entrepreneurs an opportunity to share ideas, seek advice and network with fellow small business owners and managers.”
The keynote speakers this year include the Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment, Mary Coughlan TD; co-founder of ‘Green & Black’s’ organic chocolate company, Jo Fairley; Krisha De, an award-winning digital marketing guru and social media author and Rita Shah, founder of Monaghan-based Shabra Plastics Recycling.
The cost to attend ‘National Women’s Enterprise Day’ at the Mullingar Park Hotel is priced at just €100 per person. This fee includes lunch, refreshments, mentoring clinic, conference materials and attendance at the networking event on November 19th. Early booking is recommended!
