More than 30 people attended the first Burdekin Chamber of Commerce event of the year, held at the Kalamia Hotel in Ayr last Wednesday evening.
A new and enthusiastic committee has stepped forward to lead the Chamber, and Treasurer Kari Ravizza expressed optimism for the year ahead.
"Our aim is to increase the profile of all businesses," she explained. "Our meetings will be more like troubleshooting sessions where everyone can share knowledge and learn how we can all support each other."
The newly formed committee includes President Eusebio Aguirre, Vice President Frank Nucifora, Secretary Thomasina Papadimitriou, and Treasurer Kari Ravizza. Executive members are Jenny Papale, Rose Papadimitriou, Marissa Zanella, and Linda Butler.
The committee is already planning to maximise membership throughout the year and has introduced some innovative strategies. One of the fresh ideas is an Instagram campaign, where a local volunteer will interview business owners to share their stories. Another idea is the creation of a Chamber Catalogue to promote members, and the committee is in talks with the local newspaper to find the most efficient way to implement it.
Additionally, the Burdekin Chamber of Commerce is excited to announce a positive and collaborative relationship with the Home Hill Chamber of Commerce.
“Home Hill Chamber of Commerce has been very gracious in allowing our members to attend their meetings, and we have done the same in return,” shared Kari. “This collaborative approach will benefit all businesses across the region.”
The next Chamber Meeting will be held on Tuesday, 8th April at the Kalamia Hotel, and future meetings will take place on the second Tuesday of each month.
