Be recognised as Australia’s best and brightest Mumpreneur

1

Mum’s the word. Business mum, that is. So if you know an entrepreneurial mum who’s deserving of some recognition (it could be yourself), speak up!

Australia’s most innovative mothers will be getting a break from their demanding workplace and household duties when they are honoured at the 2011 AusMumpreneur Awards, which will be presented at a gala event at Mercure Sydney on Saturday 27 August.

The awards, now in their third year, recognise the efforts of mums (and yes, supportive dads too) who successfully combine motherhood and business across a number of categories. Nominations are being accepted until Friday 17 June.

Connect2Mums, an online networking community for mumpreneurs with over 4,000 members, will be sponsoring the awards.

According to Connect2Mums Owners Peace Mitchell and Katy Garner, the nominations aren’t restricted to fans – business owners can nominate themselves and acknowledge their achievements.

“It’s a good way for businesses to promote their offerings and get their name out there,” Mitchell explained.

Added Garner, “Many business mums don’t recognise how important their work is, so that is why the AusMumpreneur Awards are so important.”
