Membership to an business network is a great way to grow your business, expand your horizon, find a business mentor and collaborate with others. Last week I received this glowing note from ABN Member Nancy Georges. Nancy is one member who participates actively in the network, taking part in webinars, the member bulletin and most recently, our Member Advisory Groups, herViews. I thought I’d let her share here, in her own words why she enjoys being a part of our national community of businesswomen.
My Australian Businesswomen’s Network membership is so much more than a simple email newsletter and sporadic networking events. The ABN provides information, education and opportunities to meet like-minded businesswomen. I am constantly impressed by the calibre of other members in every encounter. I am able to learn and network at a time that suits me through the blog, webinars and the Know-How Now community [a closed-door community for network members to discuss key business issues]. It is really important that we are able to use up-to-date technology and learn about the relevance to our own businesses. I am still learning and exploring all of the ABN tools and am looking forward to growing my business and network with the support of the ABN. I also value the fact that I am able to participate in the ABN. This is how I run my own business and work with my own customers. Every time I have had contact with the ABN Team, I have always felt like a valuable member and not treated like a ‘subscriber’. This personal touch, lead by Suzi Dafnis, an accomplished, genuine woman provides immediate support when needed. Recently, I had the opportunity to be involved in a panel discussion, chaired by Suzi. This was an interesting stimulating meeting where we all had the opportunity to discuss our own needs and experiences. Suzi discussed new initiatives and programs that have been developed as a result of ABN research and member feedback. The ABN is certainly relevant to my business, the current climate and me. I would encourage every woman running a business to join and grow with the support of the ABN and other members. — Nancy Georges Magnolia Solutions
