Telecom Namibia continues its supports towards the Economist Business Women Club by donating N$30,000 at the launch of the 10th Northern Conference on Wednesday 24 June 2009 at Omba Gallery in Windhoek.

According to the organizers, the conference is tailored for all women who want to increase their professionalism, job satisfaction, add value to their organisations as well as to encourage women entrepreneurship.

"You are employing a major strategy of tapping into existing network, the same pool of skills and experience as your sisters in Windhoek, meet other key players and improve yourself and your business," she said.

Telecom Namibia`s Communication Practitioner Surihe Gaomas said the conference is a platform and opportunity for women entrepreneurs to share and transfer skills and expertise.
