Goals for the chamber
The CBD Sydney Chamber provides a valuable link between businesses in and around the CBD.
My passion for this role revolves around connecting people and creating links that bind businesses around a common interest – that ultimately can benefit their business.
That link might be geography (eg CBD, The Rocks or Barangaroo After 5 Networking), an industry - our Creative Community group, a CBD Women in Business network or those looking for Business Improvement opportunities.
The CBD needs groups like these. My conversations with businesses reinforce this everyday. So my role is to listen and to create genuine opportunities that add value to potentially hundreds of businesses, every day. It’s an exciting challenge – and there’s a lot to do.
