So you're thinking of hosting a Women on the Move Monthly Networking Function?

This information page is designed to provide you all you need to know to host a successful function.

If after reading the information, you remain interested in hosting an event, please answer the questionnaire to help us schedule your event.

Please note while we assess all offers, priority for networking functions will be given to members interested in hosting and promoting their business. If you would like to become a member of Women on the Move, membership is $20, and forms are available from the Join Us page of this website.

Why host an event?

Promoting your business to other members helps to showcase what you have to offer and gives you a unique opportunity to promote what you do.

Word-of-mouth is often a very effective promotional/marketing tool underused in this technological age. By hosting an event your marketing can expand outwards to each member’s own personal/professional network in the Toowoomba Community.

When are events held?

Our Networking events are held on the second Wednesday of every month. You will be contacted by a member of our committee closer to the event to ensure preparations are running smoothly.

If you have any further queries please feel free to contact the committee at committee.womenonthemove@gmail.com Some of the committee have previously hosted a networking function and may be able to provide you with helpful hints and/or some feedback.

What you need to provide:

Light Supper. This usually includes a mixture of sandwiches, cheese & fruit platters and hot finger food. Cater for approximately 30 people. There will generally be enough for all who attend
Drinks. A selection of wines and soft drink.
Raffle Prize. Raffle funds are provided to our annual charity. In 2011, we will be supporting Brenner House which supports women who have experienced domestic abuse.

What does WOTM provide?

We will send out details of the event to all women on our database and promote the event.
On the evening we will greet guests at door and provide them with name tags and collect business cards for the raffle.
We will assist with serving food and drinks as required.
We will provide and sell the raffle tickets.
We will provide an MC to introduce host’s spokesperson.
