Noosa Chamber’s new technologically smart website was launched at last Friday morning’s Coffee Catch Up attended by almost 50 members and guests at Café Le Monde.

Helping build connections is part of Chamber’s offering to members. Lots of ideas were exchanged at the Catch Up and new connections made over coffee and pastries, thanks go to HRM Contracting and Consulting who sponsored the event.

Chamber vice president Emma Hull spoke about the new website which has enhancements that make it easier for everyone to engage with the chamber.

The website has been completely revamped with a new look, useful information, links, and an enhanced member directory to continue giving member businesses visibility. The site also contains updates of chamber news, events, and advocacy.

An exciting new feature is that members can now login to manage their business and member details and update their logo, website and social media links which appear in the website’s member directory. There is an integrated system for event ticketing, invoicing, membership, renewals, surveys and member communications.

Chamber representatives meet every six weeks with Mayor Clare Stewart and the Council chief executive officer, and also attend the council business roundtable, to discuss potential synergies and local business issues. In collaboration with Noosa Council, the chamber is seeking a state government grant for an adopt a worker program to address the lack of affordable housing faced by employers and their workers.

A Queensland Chamber of Commerce (CCIQ) grant is being sought to run a Business Wellness seminar for members. And to provide a streamlined service, Chamber has engaged the services of Scott Harrison Media to assist with implementing a full calendar of member events and Karen McIntosh to handle membership matters and member enquiries.

Businesses and individuals are invited to join Noosa Chamber of Commerce and Industry to participate in the benefits of being a member. To join simply visit noosachamberofcommerce.com.au or email enquiries to membership@noosachamberofcommerce.com.au
