November 2021

At the time of writing this column, myself and CEO Rod Camm have just returned from Central Queensland where we hosted a series of incredibly productive meetings with members and the broader automotive industry.

It is always exciting connecting face-to-face with members and take part in discussions that help shape our advocacy and member services agendas.

Thank you to all who came along! I would also like to thank the Office of Fair Trading and the Department of Transport and Main Roads, who hosted sessions giving some great insight into a range of regulatory issues.

The Department of Employment, Small Business and Training are hosting a series of excellent live webinars every day during November on topics relevant to small business recovery. I encourage all business owners to take advantage of this series, which includes the following:

• Tender basics for small business
• Getting clear vision and values
• Prepare ahead for disaster
• Build a rock star business strategy
• Attracting, recruiting and retaining employees
• Continuity planning and management
• Creating a risk matrix

Finally, members will have received notification of the upcoming AGM on Friday, 19th November. The meeting will be hosted online via Teams, and I encourage all members to confirm their attendance by contacting [email protected].
