Membership to the Network of Enterprising Women.
Join our group of energetic and vibrant women in South Dublin and attend networking events, meetings, seminars and training on how to grow your business with like-minded female entrepreneurs.
Local Enterprise Office South Dublin has developed the Network of Enterprising Women in South Dublin (NEWS) to support women in business across the county.
NEWS helps women build strong business connections, learn from one another, and feel supported in their business journey. Networking plays an important role in business growth. Through NEWS, members can share experience, gain new ideas, and build confidence by connecting with others who understand the realities of running a business.
Throughout the year, Local Enterprise Office South Dublin hosts a wide range of events for women in business. These events are important because they provide opportunities to learn new skills, hear from experienced speakers, and connect with other business owners in a supportive environment. Events are designed to be practical, engaging, and mindful of the time pressures faced by business owners.
Membership of NEWS is free. Members must be actively trading and located within the South Dublin County Council administrative area.
If you have registered before, there is no need to register again in 2026.
