I would like to start by echoing Rod’s sentiment about the year ahead. We have many exciting initiatives coming and I am looking forward to hearing from our members more regularly.
Rod and I will be hitting the road later this month for our first regional events for 2023 in Bundaberg and Hervey Bay. These events are a fantastic opportunity to connect with you and discuss the topics important to your business and your community specifically. You will also have the opportunity to hear a special presentation from the Office of Fair Trading. These meetings will be held regularly across Queensland and I encourage all member and non-member businesses to come along for what is a great night.
For a full list of event dates and locations, visit www.mtaq.com.au/mtaq-events. RSVP is essential.
The first round of our Divisional Committee meetings have now also kicked off for the year, representing another great avenue for members to voice their views to us on the direction of the industry. Attendees will also have the chance to hear from cyber security experts from Aliva, who will run through steps business owners can take to keep themselves safe from online threats. With a rise in the number and complexity of threats targeting businesses lately, this session will be incredibly insightful for all business owners.
Once again, the invitation to attend these meetings is open to all member and non-member businesses and you can register to attend online by emailing [email protected].
I hope to see you all there!
