In a significant celebration of International Women's Day, the County Tipperary Chamber, and main sponsor from Bulmers and the County Tipperary Chamber Skillnet, orchestrated a landmark event at the scenic Ashley Park House in Nenagh. The gathering shone a spotlight on the empowerment of women, the power of community, and the health and well-being of women in the professional sphere.

 

The success of the event, as noted by CEO Michelle Aylward and other attendees, served as a remarkable example of what the county of Tipperary can achieve when it comes together to honour diversity, inclusion, and the vital role of women in business and society. Dr. Karen Weeks, who was the keynote speaker, left a lasting impression with her narrative on perseverance and collaborative spirit, which are cornerstones of both personal and professional triumph.

 

Helen Ryan from Total Health enriched the event further with a session that was not only informative but also deeply resonant, focusing on practical steps to enhance women’s health — a foundational aspect of personal and professional growth.

 

Bringing the event to a close, Sarah Fogarty, the first President from Nenagh of the County Tipperary Chamber, delivered compelling closing remarks. Fogarty's insights into the importance of such gatherings highlighted the Chamber's role in driving forward not just the agenda for women, but for all sectors across County Tipperary.

 

"This International Women's Day event was more than just a meeting of minds; it was a showcase of County Tipperary's dedication to fostering an environment where women leaders can flourish and where the community can come together to support one another," said CEO Michelle Aylward. "The palpable energy and the shared commitment to growth and equality that we witnessed today are what make County Tipperary not just a place to do business, but a place to thrive."

 

The County Tipperary Chamber is immensely thankful to Bulmers, the County Tipperary Chamber Skillnet, and Ashley Park House for their indispensable support. The Chamber is also grateful to all the distinguished speakers and participants who contributed to the overwhelming success of this event.

 

As the Chamber looks to the future, it remains committed to holding events that not only celebrate achievements but also bolster the business community's collective strength. These events serve as crucial milestones in the continuous pursuit of excellence and equity in County Tipperary and beyond.
