To celebrate Women's Day nearly three hundred women were treated to a morning designed to delight in every way, on Thursday 5 August. The Hyatt Regency in Rosebank provided a delicious breakfast; a diverse array of women from various industries enjoyed each other's company and networked with each other; each woman received a goodie bag filled with lovely gifts including Helen Nicholson's book, Networking: How To Get Your Black Belt In Business Success and Kim Meredith's book Deal Diva: How To Negotiate Your Way To Success Without Selling Your Soul; and, they were entertained by three dynamic singers, and invited to let their hair down as they ended the morning with some boogying!
