Event to empower local women

Tickets are selling fast for an event aimed at empowering Geelong women in business while supporting Vinnies, according to organisers.

Melbourne blogger Sophie Cachia will headline the ‘Empowerment in business and life’ event featuring athlete Kelly Cartwright, stylist Deni Todorovic and floral entrepreneur Amanda Kereama in a Q&A panel.

Local musician Kim Cooper will sing as guests arrive and eight local businesses will showcase products and services.

“We want this event to leave guests feeling empowered, stronger and supported,” Geelong Women’s Business Club founder Merrin Schnabel said.

“The Geelong Women’s Business Club continues to create safe spaces for women in business to be their authentic selves within business and life.”

Ms Schnabel hoped the special guests would inspire local women to be more confident and take on new challenges, in business and life.

Geelong Women’s Business Club will donate a portion of tickets sales towards Australian charity St Vincent de Paul, with opportunities to donate throughout the day.

The event takes place at Capri receptions, Geelong West, from 1pm to 5pm on May 29.
