Developing and growing your business takes among other things vision, passion, resilience and support.
In todays competitive world it is also critical to build our brand and market your business on-line.
Increasingly as you will have read about here at “Biz Growth News”, consumers, clients and business partners are turning to the Internet to research about products and services before they make a purchasing decision.
Potential candidates for roles in your company will also be looking at your profile on-line.
So even if you do not intend to offer products or services on-line for purchase, it is critical that people can find you on-line and you build a compelling corporate, employer and personal brand on-line.
But where do you turn to if you are looking for support with expressing your brand and growing your business on the Internet?
Well one organisation I have enjoyed being a member of and have received great guidance from through their events and news letters in my journey to building my on-line strategy is the Irish Internet Association (IIA).
So I am delighted to hopefully return my thanks to the IIA as I have been nominated by friends and colleagues as a potential board member.

I got to you via The Magical List of Outstanding Women Bloggers.
I was on the management committee of the South African Internet Service Provider Association. A bit more specific than your Irish Internet Association is which nurtures, taking this off their site, all business conducted via the internet, not just the service providers. I was the only woman!
Hope you get voted on, it seems it’s something you are really passionate about.
