Change 1 Woman networking event
Change 1 Woman (C1W) hosted a successful networking event on Wednesday 10 September at the Modern Marketing expo. Attendees could connect with women in branding, print and signage, and left feeling uplifted, guided and inspired.
Proceeds from the 40 C1W T-shirts that were sold on the stand will go to 18twenty8, a women-led non-profit organisation that empowers young women by developing strategies for their educational and personal development.
We believe meaningful change starts with one conversation. By helping just one woman, we can ignite a ripple effect that transforms many lives.
Thanks to our sponsors of this event: Printing SA, The FP&M SETA, Graphix Supply World, Avery Dennison and DTF Printing Africa.
