Harden Murrumburrah Hosts Rural Women’s Gathering 2024 - Sowing The Seeds Of Success

Tickets are now on sale for the highly anticipated annual Rural Women’s Gathering (The Gathering), scheduled for Saturday, October 19 in Harden Murrumburrah.

This event, made possible by the NSW Government and organised by women local to the Hilltops region, aims to empower women and girls across regional, rural and remote NSW.

The Gathering aims to assist participants to build new connections and learn new skills to ensure they can reach their full potential and thrive.

This year’s theme is “Sowing the Seeds of Success - Creating Your Own Work Life Balance”, and will see women hearing from entrepreneurial women and experts, participating in cultural experiences, arts and crafts, and workshops, meeting local business vendors and sampling local catering.

Minister for Women, the Hon Jodie Harrison, MP, who will be a guest on the day, said that the Rural Women’s Gathering brought women together to share experiences, learn and support one another each year.

“It is an important event to help regional women feel connected through friendship, mentorship and professional resources and services,” Ms Harrison said.

“I am excited to meet amazing women from across the regions at this year’s event and hear their stories and visions for the future.”
