“I was lucky enough to receive a Future Women gift membership, compliments of Women’s Safety NSW. It has been a wonderful and insightful network of women in business. I enjoy the quality of the content, newsletters, engaging discussions in the members group and curated social club, which I’m yet to attend but have been eyeing them off.
