We have officially launched!
What a reMARKable event at the beautiful Moranbah Golf Club. This Small Business Month event amplified the voice of nearly 2000 registered small businesses in the Isaac region with the launch of the Isaac Business Chamber. We have over 300 small to medium businesses in beef cattle and grain and nearly 300 in construction services, nearly 200 businesses in automotive and machinery repair and maintenance, over 100 professional and technical services like engineering, management consulting, accounting, over 100 retail trade businesses and everything else in between. That’s why the Isaac Business Chamber will play a vital role in fostering a sense of community and collaboration. Our keynote speaker @Jessica Ritchie CPM lit a spark with the audience with her MARK methodology and storytelling. Thanks to our event partners Greater Whitsunday Alliance (GW3), Local Buying Foundation, Isaac Regional Council and DESBT for their support. Keep up to date on via our website and socials for more launch events within the region during June and July.
