Extensive volunteer work, innovative initiatives, and unwavering support for women in business.
That pretty much sums up Wollondilly Women in Business (WWIB).
But despite its exceptional contribution to supporting and empowering businesswomen within the Wollondilly community it was still a surprise when it took out a business award on the weekend.
When WWIB was named winner of the 2024 Australian women’s small business champions award it was the second such honour in their history.
WWIB won the same award just two years earlier in 2022.
“This was a genuine surprise, especially as the women’s organisation category grows more competitive each year. We were truly shocked,’’ said Michelle Legg, president and founder of WWIB.
“It’s incredibly rewarding to achieve success on a national stage. We haven’t encountered any other organisation that matches the unique voluntary work WWIB does for businesswomen and the broader community.’’
Accepting the award on behalf of WWIB were team members Brooke Hilton, Tia Veech, Wendy White, and Rose Cuschieri. Their presence highlighted the collaborative spirit and commitment that drive the organisation.
Ms Legg expressed her heartfelt gratitude to the WWIB board, leadership team, service providers, and members
“It’s a lot of work and a lot of heart,’’ she said.
“I thank everyone for their humble and valuable contributions, and our members for supporting the vision.’’
