Strategic business workshop series

The Umina District Chamber of Commerce will hold the first of a series of strategic business workshops on June 17, to help secure government funding for the Umina district.

The first workshop will be held at Ocean Beach Surf Club from 6pm, at a cost of $20 per person.

Ms Susan Rowe from the Department of State and Regional Development will facilitate the workshop and provide local businesses with guidance on structuring its strategic development plan.

Chamber president Ms Sharon Martin said the strategic development plan was vital in securing appropriate funding from Local, State and Federal Government grants for the local area.

"Please come along and have your say in what initiatives you would like to have implemented to provide positive direction for the Umina district," Ms Martin said.

"The mission of the Umina District Chamber of Commerce is to work with its members to build a successful business community that works in harmony with local and state government bodies, state and local business chambers and business groups to ensure continuous improvement resulting in growth for the Umina community.

"This is a chance for the Umina business community to join now to have your say in the future of your community."
