A total of 30 local businesses came together at Harrup Park last week for the Mackay Chamber of Commerce Annual General Meeting, during which the new committee was formally announced.
Ash-Lee Johnson (Mackay Regional Council), Maree Sturdy (Treadwell Tyres), Katie Duncan (McKays Solicitors), Geoff O’Connor (SBB Partners), Madeleine Connors (NE Foods | The Dispensary), Elizabeth Dent (DGL Accountants), Cathy Sullivan (Mount Pleasant Centre), Vicki Smith (Concept Consulting) and James Wortley (Enlightened Financial Solutions) are now on the committee.
This year, Mackay Chamber will say goodbye to two outgoing committee members: Scott Jamieson and Sarah Miotto, both were thanked for their dedication at the meeting.
“These committee members are long serving, and passionate,” said Chamber President, Geoff O’Connor.
“Scott and Sarah have both made amazing contributions to the Chamber in their tenure, and they will be missed.
“It was a hotly contested election with many high calibre nominations. We wish to thank all those who nominated and especially those who were unfortunately not elected. We appreciate you putting up your hand.”
During the meeting, Mr O’Connor delivered the year in review, outlining the Chamber’s proactive approach to advocacy.
“We want to make sure we have an ear to the ground on exactly what is happening in the region, and ensuring we have a seat at as many tables as possible is key to this,” he said.
“At the same time, we are continuing to drive the rejuvenation of the City Centre, our passion project, with the establishment of a subgroup of Chamber that will assist with delivering the strategic vision for the Mackay City Centre and Waterfront.”
Mayor Greg Williamson wrapped up the afternoon congratulating the Mackay Region Chamber of Commerce on their commitment to the success and prosperity of local businesses.
