ABN Meeting with Federal Parliamentarians – Community Input Sought

As the peak representative organsation for Australian businesswomen and female entrepreneurs, the Australian Businesswomen’s Network is meeting individually with the Federal Minister for Small Business, Dr Craig Emerson and the Federal Assistant Treasurer, Senator Nick Sherry next week. Community Director Suzi Dafnis will be meeting with Senator Sherry and Advisory Board member Susan Wareham McGrath is meeting with Dr Emerson. We’re seeking input for both meetings so we can make the most of this opportunity to represent the concerns of the Australian SME community to both parliamentarians. If you have a public policy issue you would like us to raise with either Dr Emerson or Senator Sherry, please contact us on policy@abn.org.au, or call the ABN on 1300 720 120. The more input we receive, the stronger the messages we can take to the Minister and the Assistant Treasurer – this is one of the few opportunities Australian businesswomen and female entrepreneurs will have this year to have their voice heard at the highest level of Australian government, so we would love to hear from as many community members as possible. Sincerely Suzi and Susan
