South East Brisbane Chamber of Commerce Breakfast Wrap Up8 June 2007 The SEBCC held another very successful Breakfast at Sunrise earlier this week. Our guest speaker, Peter Cowley of Peter Cowley Accountants, Partners and Business Advisors was the guest speaker and gave our members and guests some valuable information to help them get their businesses 'tax ready' ahead of 30 June. For those who missed Peter this morning we will be including a handout from him in the upcoming SEBCC Newsletter. Our Business Leader of the Future this month was Kaley Willmott of Balmoral State High School. Kaley was sponsored by Tania Holmes of Westpac Morningside and accompanied by Balmoral SHS teacher Sharyn Laidlaw. The SEBCC is very proud of this program and Kaley was an excellent example of what the SEBCC is hoping to achieve through it. Kaley engaged with members and guests prior to the meeting and addressed those in attendance in a confident and personable manner. We hope that Kaley took a greater understanding of business and the role the Chamber plays in the community away from the meeting. If you know a student who could benefit from being part of this program, or you would like to sponsor a student, please contact me. The Trade Table was hosted by Michael Cullen of Biz 2 Biz Coaching. Thank you Michael for giving us a greater insight into your business and how you can help with HR Coaching. The breakfast Trade Table is a very popular benefit of membership and we have now 'booked out' for the year. Bookings for 2008 are so to secure your spot 'get in early!' The SEBCC Breakfasts are now becoming very popular with members and guests, thanks to all those early birds who are coming at 6.30am for networking. Our pre-payment system is also working very well and most of you are now pre-booking and paying for your breakfast online. This gives you more time to network and streamlines the registration process. Could I please ask those who not registering and paying online to consider using the system and if you have any questions or difficulties with it please contact me. I also ask that everyone tries to book on the Friday before the breakfast. Numbers are given to Carina Leagues Club on Monday mornings and although they and I are happy to take late bookings anyone with special dietary requirements needs to get them to me by COB Friday to be guaranteed a special meal (this includes Continental Breakfasts). The SEBCC has two events coming up next week. Our regular Women
in Business Lunch at Tonic to be held on Friday 15 June and the
launch of 'Business at Sunset' at Eleven17 (Cannon Hill) on Wednesday
13th June...featuring live coverage of the 2nd State of Origin game! I look forward to seeing you at one of our events soon and in the meantime, have a great week weekend. Christine Kerr Source: South East Brisbane Chamber of Commerce |
