This year the Sunshine Coast Business Women's Network (SCBWN) is celebrating a momentous 25 YEARS since the incorporation of the network after its humble beginnings as Women in the Workforce.

That's 25 years of successfully running a not-for-profit organisation where hundreds of women from diverse backgrounds and industries can connect, support each other, share experiences and empower each other to succeed in their careers and reach their full potential.

The success of SCBWN is a testament to the power of community and the importance of supporting and uplifting one another. The past 25 years could not have been possible without our dedicated group of volunteers who make up our executive committee, and the amazing members who volunteer their time in support of the network.

To celebrate this great milestone we are recognising those that have put so much into the long-term sustainability of SCBWN. We are incredibly excited to share with you all the interviews of our devoted past presidents and share their stories of personal contribution and their legacy to SCBWN over the years!

We will be sharing these interviews from now until the end of the year through blogs and social media, and by doing this we hope to provide our members with valuable insights to help them grow personally and professionally. We encourage our members both past and present to join us in this journey by sharing their own SCBWN memories and achievements on their social channels and tagging #scbwn25

Our current president Min Swan shared her pride for the ambitious leadership of the SCBWN over the years which has contributed immensely to the network's growth.

"The success of the network is attributed to the vision and dedication of our past presidents as each leader has brought a unique perspective and skillset to the role, shaping the direction of the group and building on the work of those who came before them.

"Through their leadership, these phenomenal women have helped to establish our mission, values, and culture, and have fostered an environment where women can celebrate, connect, learn and grow," she said.

We're excited to take you on this journey and honour the women who founded SCBWN, as well as all those who have contributed to its success over the past 25 years!
