Geraldton’s Women Inspiring Better Business Christmas party a chance to wind down, celebrate women

Business women from across the Mid West came together last week, as they regularly do throughout the year, to celebrate the festive season, while inspiring and supporting one another. Emu Creek Gardens, in East Chapman about 20 minutes from Geraldton, hosted 130 women on Friday night for the Women Inspiring Better Business (WIBBs) for its glamorous and elegant “jingle and mingle” Christmas cocktail event. It was an enchanting atmosphere, with a stunning backdrop and Cheralyn Simpson from Varley Strings captivating the crowd with a live performance. “To see 130 women coming together for a day of connection and celebration is a true testament to the strength of our community and the mission of WIBBs to inspire better business and relationships,” WIBBs chair Kathryn Jackson said. “This event was more than just a gathering; it was a celebration of women supporting women. The energy in the room and the feedback we’ve received show just how impactful WIBBs can be. “We are already looking forward to what next year will bring.” Ms Jackson said the success of WIBBs events like this one underpinned the power of community and collaboration. “This year, WIBBs has had the privilege of hearing from many inspiring speakers such as an astrophysicist, a gynaecologist, a multi-business entrepreneur and a disability advocacy expert. These women have broadened our horizons and shown the incredible depth of talent in the Mid West,” she said. “WIBBs provides the women of the Mid West opportunities throughout the year to come together, connect and network. At these events we hear from a range of guest speakers from different industries which helps to strengthen our ties to the community and exemplify the outstanding calibre of women we have in the Mid West.” Ms Jackson expressed her deep gratitude to the event hosts as well as WIBBs sponsors and the committee whose hard work makes the organisation a success.
