      Why You Will Love This Book

      The Net Result series of books (four volumes) contain the success stories of the winners of the most prestigious AWARD in Australia today, for business and professional women. It was originated in South Australia by Lucille Orr and her Australian Executive Women’s Network members’ way back in 1987. It was the Australian Executive Woman of the Year Award and then it became the Telecom Executive Woman Award when Telecom Australia became the naming sponsors and the Award expanded nationally in 1991.

      Due to the overwhelming success of the Award in 1995 when Telecom changed its name it also renamed the Award and it became the Telstra Business Women’s Award.

      Lucille Orr, Founder and President of AEWN organised the Award for nine years with the wonderful support of her staff and the AEWN members. She wanted to thank the inaugural Winners and Runners Up in both the Award and a Speaking Competition the AEWN organised by way of including the life stories of these wonderful women in books titled “The Net Result”.

      The books have been used by High Schools and Universities in Career Studies classes for almost 20 years and to enable the whole world to enjoy these women and learn from their pioneering spirit in business, we have made them accessible as four e-books.

      Please enjoy the stories and encourage others to gain self-confidence and inspiration by recommending they read the four e-books.

      Dedication

      To our mothers, without whose creativity

      and guidance we wouldn’t be;

      to our partners at home and/or in business without whose patience and support

      we wouldn’t be where we are.

      We also dedicate this book to Nancy Robinson Flannery our beloved editor who died on 1^st September 2011. Nancy will be with us forever, in our hearts and minds. She did so much for the AEWN members.
