The outgoing president Trish Finegan of Creative Catering thanked the members for all their support for the past two years and in her report she spoke about some of the highlights of the past year, which included the lunch with Sarah Newman on International Women’s Day in March and the lunch with Garret Byrne of Campagne restaurant to raise funds for Special Olympics.
The newly elected president, Dee Gibney of Dee Gibney Properties, thanked Finegan for her outstanding contribution to the network and for working tirelessly to promote business women in Kilkenny. At present Kilkenny Business Women’s Network is represented on the Strategic Policy Committee of the Kilkenny County Council and on the board of directors of the Kilkenny Chamber and County Enterprise Board.
