PORT Stephens Women In Business (PSWIB) held a speed networking function last Wednesday night at the Greenhouse Eatery, Medowie.

Being strategically positioned on tables beside “business strangers” gave participants the opportunity to broaden local professional networks and broach connections with like-minded female
entrepreneurs.

Guest speaker on the day was mortgage broker Jess Burgess.

Jess gave an informative and useful presentation on “smart money hacks”, taking attendees through a guide to home ownership and a “savvy saver” quiz.

Event organiser Kerri Rodley from Workshops in Wellbeing encouraged attendees to practise the ‘20, 20, 20’ rule post-event, advising to contact one of the burgeoning relationships within twenty minutes of leaving, firming that connection up within twenty hours and twenty days.

Originally founded by Leah Anderson in 2009, PSWIB is self-described as a “thriving community of like-minded business women who uplift and empower each other throughout the Port Stephens region”.

“With a robust membership of dedicated professionals, the primary goal is to provide a supportive environment where women can connect, network, and foster meaningful friendships,” the group states.

Non-members are invited to attend the regular, last Wednesday of the month PSWIB meet up at a special guest price to meet the vibrant community of diverse women.
