Welcome to our latest Chamber newsletter
It has been a busy month here at the Chamber and we're in disbelief that October has come and gone!
A lot has happened since the last newsletter. We facilitated a very successful Impact Hub Co-Design workshop, held two digital boost training sessions, had our AGM and hosted a BA5 wine tasting with Merchants Liquor.
We're delighted about the attendance levels at our recent events and appreciate your continued support of the Chamber.
At our recent AGM, it was announced that Shane Walsh has formally accepted the role as CEO of the Te Awamutu Business Chamber. You can check out the press release here.
The Te Awamutu Business Chamber is well on its way to ‘Being Great Again’.
We urge you to continue to play your part, support the Chamber by coming to our events and if you know any businesses that are not members, encourage them to join. Te Awamutu deserves a great business chamber!
