I believe that the Chamber has developed a meaningful presence in the Wellington LGA. It is now a member of the NSW Business Chamber, it has its own website and Facebook page, it has developed a logo for use on products from the Wellington area and it has supported the development of a Prime Wellington Lamb producers group.
In addition, the Chamber has established a forum for informal discussions with the Director of Strategy and Planning Services in Council which resulted in a partnership with Council in the awning structural assessment exercise that was carried out earlier this year. It is also currently in partnership with Council in the ‘Buy Local Program’, an initiative designed to support all businesses in town, regardless of whether they are members of the Chamber or not.
There is still much to be done but this can only happen if we have a strong and vibrant Business Chamber that is well supported by businesses, both in town and in the surrounding rural areas. It is important that the Chamber is supported by a group of people who have the best interests of businesses in the Wellington LGA at heart.
The Business Chamber can only continue if members of local businesses support it and are prepared to take up executive positions. I appreciate that we are all busy people but give this some thought and come to the AGM prepared to either nominate for a role or twist someone else’s arm to do so !!
Please call me on 0416 034 106 if you have any questions.
Yours Sincerely
IAN B LAW
President
