History
In March 1998, Ron Pollock, formerly of the Wyndham Economic Development Unit, organised a breakfast meeting to discuss the "Millennium Bug." Do you remember all the worries about what was going to happen in Y2K?
This very informative meeting presented a great opportunity to network with local people from a variety of backgrounds and business interests. On asking for details of the next Council networking meeting the reply was 'network meetings do not work in this area, Wyndham people do not support them so no more are being planned.'
As someone starting out in business in the Wyndham area, this statement astonished! Where could I go to talk and network with like-minded people or meet people in the local community?
Ron offered his services to organise a 'structural committee' and this
dedicated group held the first structural committee
meeting on 19th May 1998 to set the ground work.
It was such a fun and
exciting time we almost decided not to let anyone else know about it!
We did, however, let our business sense get the better of us and had
our inaugural meeting on the 28th July 1998 at the Master Wok
restaurant.
Today the committee is made
up of a mix of professional people from the original 'structural committee' and 'new
members.' This offers a diverse range of skills, expertise and
experience. The success of our organisation comes down to everyone
working together to create a welcoming environment where new guests can
mix with existing members.
By working together we promote ourselves, each other and our local
business community. Most of all we have fun - which may otherwise be difficult
with the pressures that small business owners face today.
