International Women's Day Celebrations

By Shanelle Schick

Saturday 11th March saw the first joint International Women’s Day Event held with The Hub Capricorn Coast collaborating with Coastal Kinesiology to bring an event that celebrated and recognised local women in the community

45 women attended the event which was held at Stir and Stitch, an idyllic setting to mingle, network and to celebrate the talents of local women and the contribution they are making. Amanda and her team at Stir and Stitch did a fabulous job of keeping the rain away and serving up delicious food for the guests in attendance.

During the afternoon, women were recognised in 3 categories – Community Spirit, Rookie Business and Mentor. A decision was made during the process of organising the event to remove the title of having a winner for each category as being in small business is challenging enough Instead, each of the nominees were recognised and celebrated for their strengths and contributions in each category

Organisers Shanelle Schick from The Hub Capricorn Coast and Katie Crews from Coastal Kinesiology were very pleased with how the event turned out. They are looking to collaborate to organise future networking events to help support women in small business on the Capricorn Coast If you are interested in hearing about future events or wish to be part of the planning committee, please reach out to either Shanelle or Katie to register your interest.
