With April just around the corner, that’s the third quarter of Financial year 2023 done and dusted.
How have you performed? Have you met your goals? Or have you just been tied up in the busy-ness of getting through the day to day life? How much personal development have you done? How much training? Workforce is changing and clearly we all need to work smarter, more efficiently and be more inclusive of your team.
Take some time to reflect over the mini breaks coming up in April.
Speaking of school holidays and the multitude of public holidays in April, whilst disruptive for a lot of businesses, it is a boom period for tourism. A great time of year for many local businesses coming out of a traditionally quiet time.
A period of change for Chambers across Queensland with the rebranding of CCIQ. It is not just a name change, although the new name Business Chamber Queensland is certainly indicative of the focus and sole purpose of the organisation – it’s about putting business first at all times. New CEO Heidi Cooper is committed to supporting the state’s networks of chambers.
More change for your local Chamber as we embark on an unprecedented period of reinvigoration and expansion.
Before we welcome the new recruits, a huge thank you to outgoing Secretary Kerrie Southee – tirelessly working in the background organising events, filtering correspondence and keeping the wheels turning. Thanks Kerrie.
The Chamber is looking to vastly improve its engagement with members and decided to expand the role of secretary to include an active member liaison role. We were extremely lucky to have several quality applicants and even luckier to retain the services of Dr Julia Evans and Richard Evans who bring a wealth of experience through their business consultancy firm and roles on other Boards. Welcome Julia and Richard.
In addition, the interview process has bolstered our Committee further with a couple of strategic appointments tying into one of the announcements to be made at our next networking function, Thursday 20th April at 7am.
