The next networking zoom will be held:
Tuesday 18th March, 12.30pm.
You will receive an email with a link to join.

Connection

If you’d like to connect with our audience we offer an annual opportunity for our professional members to promote their services to our audience.

There are a variety of opportunities which may include sharing your services in our newsletters to mothers, social media promotion and providing a free live webinar for our community members.

You will receive an email when this annual opportunity is available, towards the end of 2024.
