THE rebooted Frankston business chamber has officially begun its work.
The Frankston Business Collective’s board has been appointed and met for the first time last week.
Bernd Neubauer has been appointed the chair of the business chamber. He said that the organisation is “working on a launch event with a jam packed calendar of networking opportunities, events and training to follow including a business summit and business awards in late 2022.”
“Our pillars of advocacy, connection and education resonate with our business community,” he said.
The business network offers four levels of membership, ranging from individual and small business memberships to executive level for large businesses.
The Frankston Business Collective’s other board members include vice-chair Joyie Wood, treasurer Mike Cusack, CEO Jeff Rogut, Joanna Baker, Bernadine Geary, David Friend, and James Eling.
Frankston Council agreed to spend $200,000 on the establishment of the business chamber last year. It will be run independently of council.
