Startup Shakeup’s Sarah joined Rural Women’s Awards Alumni Chair Catherine Marriott, Senior Policy Officer Lara McPherson, and the Victorian Rural Women’s Award finalists in Melbourne for a networking breakfast on International Women’s Day.
Winner of this year’s award is Kimberley Furness, from Strathfieldsaye, who is the Founder and Editor of OAK Magazine, a publication dedicated to female entrepreneurs and women in business in regional and rural Australia. Kimberley would like to grow her magazine to span print, digital and audio.
