A welcoming community where local women from a diverse range of businesses and backgrounds can Connect, Grow and Celebrate each other

Women in Business Wagga Wagga is a not for profit organisation supporting business women in the Wagga Wagga region.

Formed in 2004 when a need for a women’s business and networking group was identified, we support women in business via networking events, a mentoring program and promoting educational opportunities to enhance the business skills and career prospects of our members.

Providing advocacy for women in business, we encourage our members to serve on boards of corporate, not for profit and government organisations, and foster the confidence to establish and grow successful businesses.

By providing a supportive and encouraging environment, our members form positive and powerful business and personal connections and have their achievements recognised.

Whether you run your own business, are part of a small firm, are employed by a large corporation, or belong to a professional organisation, we encourage you come along to a networking event and see for yourself.
