Plan 2 Prosper

If my Father was still with us, I am sure he would be as proud and humbled as I am by the results of the election of Office Bearers at the recent Annual General Meeting of the Rockhampton Chamber of Commerce.

At the AGM held in February, I was elected to the position of President of the Rockhampton Chamber of Commerce. It is a position that I have accepted with much pride and I humbly look forward to embracing the many new responsibilities and challenges that will come.

I look forward to working with my colleagues on the Chamber’s Board of Management as we continue our efforts in seeking to fulfill the objectives and charter of the Chamber.

The Rockhampton Chamber of Commerce has always maintained the same charter – To create a favourable environment for the development of the business community through strong leadership and active member participation, incorporating a diverse range of quality member services.  The objectives of the Rockhampton Chamber of Commerce Inc:

As a general footnote to this post: Many of my treasured memories of my father, while I was a child, stem from his willing involvement in the community in which we lived. My parents operated a general convenience and grocery store at Elliott Heads (near Bundaberg) for over 10 years in the 1980′s and early 1990′s (7-7, 364 days a year, day off for Christmas). I would like to believe it is from my parents that I gained many of the values and character traits which make me who I am today.
