A celebration of women

Ellen Hardy is the coordinator of We Rise Networking – Gympie QLD, a group run for local women in business to connect.

We Rise Networking brings together like-minded women and seek to provide the best value and inspiring local speakers to educate and empower local women in business.

Ellen was the organiser behind the wildly successful International Women’s Day 2024 celebrations at Gunabul Homestead last Friday night.

Supported by local businesses Brea Martin Photography, Moments By Mikaela, Gunabul Homestead, Grand Old Lady Gympie, Booth & Bar Co, Jessie & Co, Amena’s Sea Minerals, Everything Dogz, and Karinya Florist, the night celebrated women and treated the hard working members to a night of feminine extravagances.

Ellen said, “The night was a really beautiful event and awesome to see women within the gympie region come together and celebrate one another.”

“It was great to see multi generational women and it was awesome we could open it to up to all women not just women in business.”

“We were blown away by the support by Gunabul and local businesses coming together for the same mission.”

“We run monthly events tailored to help grow and connect local women in business so keep an eye out for them.”

If you would like to become involved in the We Rise Networking Gympie group, please visit www.werisenetworking.com or phone Ellen on 0403 671 929.
