Editor's Note

Hi Everyone,

By the time you read this, I will have had the opportunity to attend and present at the Burdekin Chamber of Commerce meeting, and I’d like to extend my thanks to Kari and the team for their kind invitation.

We really enjoy attending both the Burdekin and Home Hill Chamber of Commerce meetings. They’re fantastic opportunities to connect and network with our local business community.

I strongly encourage everyone in the area to join their local chamber. If you're unsure which one to choose, I recommend going with the chamber closest to where you live or work. The great thing is that both chambers now work closely together, so as a member of one, you’re always welcome to attend events hosted by the other. It’s a great way to maximize the value of your membership and expand your networking opportunities.

At tonight’s event, I’ll be sharing details about our new Chamber Connections package. This offers members a special opportunity to be featured in our monthly Business Buzz section in the paper, as well as be part of Core Life Magazine’s dedicated annual Burdekin Business Feature.

For those who didn't already know, we also publish Core Life Magazine and Tripping Magazine, bi-monthly publications distributed from Mackay through to Hinchinbrook. Core Life has been serving local community news for almost 14 years, and last year we expanded into the Burdekin region, with Hinchinbrook joining us this year.

By participating in the Chamber Connections feature, Burdekin businesses will have the chance to raise their profile across multiple regions along the coast. And, as always, the more businesses that sign up, the greater the visibility for everyone.

If you weren’t able to attend tonight’s event but would like more information, please feel free to reach out to our Sales Manager Trish at 0499 500 406, and she’ll be happy to assist.

Rach
