We are pleased to announce that the Proserpine Chamber of Commerce and the Whitsunday Coast Chamber of Commerce will be merging to become one Chamber.
The merger decision was finalised Thursday 20 April 2023 and the changeover process now begins.
Both Chambers believed a united voice will allow stronger representation for the many local and regional businesses.
This merger signals a period of exciting reinvigoration for business and industry in the region, providing the Chamber with greater opportunities for our members. We welcome the opportunity to expand and forge a stronger, more united voice within the Whitsundays business community.
We congratulate Kim Porter and Misty Bland on their appointment to the Chamber Committee and look forward to working with them. We would also like to extend our appreciation to Amanda and Greg Yuskan who will be liaising and assisting with the transition process of becoming one Chamber.
The Chamber will soon undertake a strategic review process, reviewing previous plans and establishing new ones to sharpen a regional focus on advocacy, membership services, events and networking, communications, and Chamber operations.
As part of this review, we are considering new and exclusive membership offerings, with Proserpine Chamber members initially being offered a FY2022-23 membership to the combined Chamber.
We are excited for what the future holds and the opportunities this merger presents.
We look forward to working with all our members and continuing to support and represent the Whitsundays business community.
