A Platform for Business Women Hornsby & District Chamber of Commerce & Industry (HDCCI) is proud to present; Women in Business. A platform for business women to meet, make friends and encourage each other to achieve the most out of their business and their own business potential. The HDCCI Women in Business is also a platform for women inspiring to get into business and are looking for guidance/assistance/mentoring from peers or more experience operators. Hornsby Chamber's Women in Business is not limited to, or by, just business.   Sue Heins & Magdaleine Jimenez Organised each month by HDCCI Executive, Magdaleine Jimenez (pictured right), a successful business woman in her own right as owner of Wizard Hornsby and our affiliate, Sue Heins (pictured left) from Inspiring Women, our group is a cross section of small to large businesses with women of all age groups as we can all learn and support one another. Monthly Meetings are held in a safe and supportive environment with inspirational guest speakers on different topics that are either business related or on work/life balance challenges. Most women are running their business whilst running a household perhaps even looking after elderly parents or relatives. Time sometimes becomes too precious to think about networking but networking is the life-blood of marketing your business that helps your business grow. Whether your business is new or established for years there are always new contacts that haven’t heard about you or your services yet! Word of mouth is the best type of advertising you can get and with Women in Business you will be able to showcase your business to other women. Some women find it difficult to talk about their business though and find the art of self promotion horrifying, our meetings will provide a safe environment to promote yourself and your business.
