Limerick Today, Ireland Thursday, September 27, 2007 Create change at Network day (features Caroline Casey) By DONAL O'REGAN LIMERICK Business Week will be rounded off in style by Miriam O'Callaghan at the Network Ireland National Conference on Friday October 5. Two of Miriam's guests will be Renault kingpin Bill Cullen and the inspirational Caroline Casey of The Aisling Foundation. At the core of Network Ireland is the desire to provide a forum where women in business and the Arts can exchange ideas and increase their business contacts and encourage women to achieve more satisfying careers. Gaye Moore, National President for Network Ireland, said the theme up for discussion is "create change and be inspired". "Four hundred delegates from Network Ireland's 11 branches will attend the conference on Friday culminating in a black tie gala dinner to announce the winners of Network Business Women of the Year Awards. A number of honours will be given out. It's going to be a fantastic day and then we have the ball at night," said Ms Moore. Miriam O'Callaghan said she was delighted to support this event and said: "I am pleased to be associated with this thoroughly inspiring organisation and I wish the members every success with this very innovative business conference". Indeed, the conference is the latest stop for Caroline Casey, an adventurer, entrepreneur, and award winning business woman. She has circumnavigated the world using 80 different forms of transport and even completed a 1,000 km solo elephant back journey across India. Ms Moore said that Caroline believes in making dreams a reality. "She has never allowed the fact that she was born visually impaired hinder her success or get in the way of her dreams. In fact her determination to "create change" within her life has allowed Caroline inspire audiences worldwide with stories of her adventures in overcoming challenges she can only see as a blurry outline," said Ms Moore. Her energy, drive and determination led her to set up The Aisling Foundation and O2 Ability Awards - recognising those with disabilities in the Irish workplace. Other speakers will be Padraic O Maille, Catherine McGeachy, Tricia Murphy and Karen Belshaw and some tickets are still available for the conference or the gala ball from Gaye Moore at 087 2766012. This novel business event is sponsored by the Limerick City and County Enterprise Boards, Magnet Business, VHI Healthcare, Ulster Bank, Oceanico Group and Keanes Jewellers. http://www.limericktoday.com/ViewArticle2.aspx?SectionID=3872&ArticleID=3233190 BlindNews Mailing List Subscribe: BlindNews-Request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with "subscribe" as subject Unsubscribe: BlindNews-Request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with "unsubscribe" as subject Moderator: BlindNews-Moderators@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Archive: http://GeoffAndWen.com/blind RSS: http://GeoffAndWen.com/BlindNewsRSS.asp More information about RSS feeds will be published shortly.
