Tracy is planning a big event with a guest speaker in April to introduce the concept to even more business ladies in the area.
The SACBW has been in operation since 1985 and concentrates it efforts on issues affecting women in business. The council is committed to help members grow their business and grow as individuals. The meetings create times to network with other business ladies in Alberton, thus marketing your product and services and the opportunity to learn from other.business. Like one lady said during the meeting; “Tele-women” is the best kind of marketing.
The council is involved in many charity projects such as rape victims, and they will be joining hands with the Epic Foundation that empowers abused and raped women. Alta Macmaster, the CEO of Epic foundation, was the first to express her excitement about the new branch, stating that she wants to become a member.
The meeting was attended by businesswomen from the Alberton area such as Elizra Vorster from Laser on Braun, Elna du Toit from Imperial canteen, Lee Legg, the Shady Lady who creates lampshades, and Natasha Venter from My Designer Cakes, who also provided lovely cupcakes for the ladies.
