About Townsville Business Women's Network
The Townsville Business Women's Network (TBWN) was formed in 1989, thanks to the vision & passion of Mrs Alison Wenck and the shared vision and drive of Mrs Hillary Hahn and Mrs Christine Soltero, three very talented Townsville businesswomen.
A Cocktail Party was held at the function room at the new renovated and refurbished Australian Hotel, with the intention of defining the needs of the businesswomen in Townsville, attended by approximately 40 prominent Townsville business women [many who remain active members to this day], Penelope-Ann Sullivan invited her good friend Margret Gill the founder & President of the Cairns Business Woman's Club to come to the event as the Key Note Speaker. It brought the realisation opportunities were being missed due to the lack of networking and sharing of information between the business and career women of Townsville within a formalised structure.
Today the Network provides monthly business connection and networking events, and education/professional development training, seminars, focus groups, and business forums for members. Members are also invited to join/form targeted Master Mind groups designed to help them build either their individual business operations, their business skills/knowledge or their career skills/knowledge.
From time to time the network Partners with other organisations to hold "Special One Off" events targeted to provide members. guests and the general business community with a wind range of opporunities to network and enjoy ech others company in a social atmosphere.
