MONTVILLE Chamber of Commerce held its Annual General Meeting at Flaxton Gardens on September 18 with a record attendance!
It is wonderful to have such an engaged membership with Montville business owners seeing the positive outcomes of a year’s work by the executive committee. With our collaboration with the Sunshine Coast Council and Visit Sunshine Coast, members are increasingly appreciating the importance of the chamber to their business.
Incoming president Shiralee Cooper says “we were blown away with attendance numbers and heartened to see that the businesses attending represented all the key pillars across the Hinterland – accommodation, food, retail, wellness, weddings, tourism and services!”
The dinner, service and setting in the marquee at Flaxton Gardens in the moonlight was outstanding. Andrew Fairbairn VSC was a tremendous MC for the occasion. Guest speaker Mayor Rosanna Natoli gave an inspiring speech on how the council is championing the Hinterland.
The committee will continue to work on advocating for our businesses with all levels of government and promoting our town and its businesses throughout SE Qld and beyond and making us a must-see destination where people come to explore and escape to.
A massive thank you to the outgoing committee and a welcome back to them all with the addition of Daniel Hoff man as our Vice President and Terri Koepenick, a new committee member.
