The hard work and dedication of 34 inspiring local businesswomen will be celebrated at an upcoming awards presentation.
The Sunshine Coast Business Women’s Network Awards Night Gala is the night of nights for the network.
This year’s awards mark 25 years of the celebration, which recognises the region’s women in business.
Proudly partnered by Sunshine Coast News and sister publication My Weekly Preview, the awards have once again attracted the best of the best across categories including Young, Corporate, Micro/Small and Professional.
One finalist will also be named the 2024 Outstanding Business Woman of the Year and another as the Sustainable Business Woman of the Year.
SCBWN president Paula Williamson said the network was excited to hold its long-standing awards in 2024 and celebrate women in business.
