The Cassowary Coast Business Women’s Network recently held its Annual General Meeting and are excited to introduce their new Executive Team.  

Kerry Clow returns as President for the third year with Britney Anastasi returning as Treasurer and Peta Abela as Committee Member.  

The dynamic group also welcome new members, Alicia Roelofs as Vice President, Yolanda Jenkins as Secretary and Nanette Gledhill and Christine Blair as new Committee Members.  The CCBWN has also engaged the professional services of Susan Kelly as their Digital Communications Support.

The CCBWN continues to grow with current membership sitting at 79, a growth of almost 50 just in the last year.  

“It is exciting to see this growth and the diversity of businesses covering areas of retail, trade, professional, legal and financial services, banks, real estate, tourism, health & wellbeing, agriculture, Government Services and the Cassowary Coast Regional Council,” said President Kerry Clow.

“We note that new businesses moving into the Cassowary Coast see value in joining the CCBWN to make connections and give exposure to their businesses.  

“We also have attracted women who may not run a business, may be retired or see this group as a genuine way to still make a contribution and meet other professional women.

“Our Vision is to connect, empower and celebrate women involved in business across the Cassowary Coast. We aim to support businesses and initiatives, personal and professional learning and development, provide a regional representative voice to local and state organisations, facilitate networking and enable social connection.

“We are exciting about an upcoming event planned for 20 August 2026 to be held at the Mission Beach Village Green to showcase Cassowary Coast businesses in a lively festival style evening shopping and dining experience.  If you want to know more check out this event on the CCBWN website, www.ccbwn.org.au.”
