Burdekin Chamber Seeking New Members

Free coffee was on offer last week as Burdekin Chamber hosted its April Chamber Connect event in Plantation Park on Tuesday, April 16.
The Chamber are offering free coffee to its Chamber Connect attendees in a bid to drive attendance.
The trial is the latest of a number of initiatives aimed at boosting attendance and membership.
The Chamber is also offering free membership for businesses, not-for-profits and individuals who are elected to the executive committee.
Following a rebrand from Ayr Chamber of Commerce, Burdekin Chamber is excitedly launching their new website to align with the initiatives.
“The benefit of the website is it will have a map of our members as well as if they accept our gift cards,” said Burdekin Chamber President Leigh Kefford.
Burdekin Chamber’s trading name was changed after a motion was carried unanimously at last year’s AGM.
“It shows us as the chamber for the Burdekin,” Mr Kefford said.
“Giru and Brandon don’t have a chamber at the moment, so we want to support the businesses in those areas as well.”
The Burdekin Chamber’s next Chamber Connect event will take place on Tuesday, May 21 from 7:00am at Intersport Ayr where guest speaker Brett of Intersport will address attendees.
The following Thursday, May 23, the Chamber will host a Marketing Mingle: Networking & Marketing Night at the Kalamia Hotel from 6:00pm where guest speaker, JCU Lecturer and Boost Marketing Business Owner Natasha Butler will address attendees – drinks and food provided.
