The Pacific Arts Alliance

Dear All,

An opportunity exists for women entrepreneurs and exporters to get involved with the Women Going Global network and for organisations focussed on women in business in the South Pacific to link with this organisation.   Although this is (at least initially) an Australian based organisation, Christine Gibbs-Stewart, the General Manager of the Australian Business International Trade Services has approached PITIC with the objective of engaging with women exporters and widening the membership network to include the Pacific and beyond. As a bit of background Chris provided me with the following: 

“Women Going Global is an initiative of our organisation and the NSW Department of State and Regional Development to help women in international business achieve their international business goals. We do this through inspiring, empowering and connecting people – both face-to-face and on-line. Please see our website www.womengoingglobal.com.au for more information.

Currently, our members are only in NSW and we are working to take the program national with Austrade.  We would also like women in other countries to “join as a member” so we can start connecting women around the world to create business opportunities.

Membership for those overseas is free and they will have a listing on our website and be able to access and use all the member only areas.  The main purpose of the website is for communication – discussion and asking questions – and connecting women across the globe.  The more women we have the better, and we are seeking to build this into a very dynamic program which delivers real outcomes.
