International Women's Day: Enterprise and Environment

Join our evening gathering  including nibbles, music, discussion and talks from local female  entrepreneurs around enterprise, environment and inclusion this  International Women’s Day.

We are building a greener and more  inclusive economy here in Dunoon. Together, we can explore how we can  make business support work better for entrepreneurial women setting up  or running businesses in Dunoon. In particular, how this could work  better for women dealing with care, health and rural challenges.

Hosted by Janis Marshall Reilly from Third Sector Interface and Hannah Clinch of Dunoon Goes POP, there will be opportunities for conversation on these topics and talks by three local female entrepreneurs.

Our speakers:

• Pauline Beutyman from Sea Drift Pottery
• Claire Segeren from What Have We Dunoon
• Lyndsey H Greer from Calma Shore

These enterprising women will talk  about their experience of developing a business in Dunoon and will share  their reflections on how their business can contribute to a NetZero  economy here in Dunoon.

Our evening gathering is for people  who run businesses or want to support the growth of a more sustainable  and inclusive economy.

Doors open at 7pm and the event will conclude around 10pm.

Childcare support at the venue can be provided. If need help please let us know in advance. Email hannah@tacit-tacit.co.uk
