“WIBF is such a great network which provides lots of development and networking opportunities – just what you need when you are at the start of your career. During my time with WIBF I have widened my horizon and have met so many brilliant and inspiring women. I have realised that it’s never too early to think about the Board positions! The quality of speakers that WIBF offer is outstanding and I feel privileged to be part of this amazing network.
