| | | | | | Dear Guest,We are on the merry-go-round again with more border closures and changing news by the day. I have tried to keep things short, sweet and lighthearted this week! In terms of leaders making decisions, it has been a time where Premiers and our Government agencies have had to be adaptable and flexible with their approaches.
I want to send my thoughts and positive wishes to all our friends, particularly those in Victoria. As I watch from afar, I know it is tough, but we are all thinking of you. We will get through this together by looking after each other and continually embracing the power of connection!
I hope during this time, the WNA Winter Magazine and our friendly network of awesome women has been able to keep you going, moving forward and importantly keeping the faith and hope for a better day. It makes me even more determined that our much anticipated WNA Christmas Charity Luncheon will go ahead as planned! Getting to spend time with all of you again has kept me motivated to make it a special event for all. With managing finance a key topic for our businesses and personal situations, it is great this week to be profiling Tracy Kearey as our Member of the Week! Her experience could be beneficial for you individually at this time, so feel free to reach out to her with any enquiries or questions. Also check out the upcoming Money Debates Virtual Summit. If you want to develop your financial literacy knowledge and capability, please read more here to join in from August 24! Everyone is experiencing a challenging time and we all want to view and hear as much positive material as we can, but I thought it was important to highlight Homelessness Week 2020 (August 2 – 8). With the theme “Everybody needs a home”, I urge you to get involved in some of the activities that will help those less fortunate in Australia so we can help end homelessness altogether. Remember to join us this afternoon at 4.30pm for Socialise at Sunset - a chance to connect for a virtual catch up, engage with your fellow members nationally, chat about the positives or some of the challenges that you have had this week. If you would like to invite a friend along, please let me know, and we can invite them!
As always, I am here to help, so please don’t hesitate to reach out.
Wishing you a wonderful day!

In Binh’s latest WNA Blog you can read a case study in successful rebranding and pick up tips on the do’s and don’t of choosing a business name.When Dr Elizabeth Kirk, Beyond Ergo decided to rebrand her specialised ergonomic business, she consulted with Seriously Trademarks for assistance with trademarking her new name. What Dr Kirk discovered was that her chosen name wasn’t an ideal representation of her business, and rebranding was more involved than simply choosing a new name.
Thanks for the wonderful feedback on the Winter Edition of the WNA Magazine, this has been such a great success…… and we want you to get excited about the next one!
Later this year, we will be producing our 30 year Anniversary Edition of the WNA Magazine. There are many great opportunities available on how you and your business can be featured in the next edition. For more details, please contact us here .

Who can forget the Go Go’s!
I might be showing my age here but who can forget the pop groundbreakers, The Go Go’s! These female 80’s rockstars were amazing. With a reunion tour planned for 2021, check out their latest documentary trailer which portrays the women behind the band and how fame and success affected these pop sensations.
