News & Blog Its hard to believe, but I have been part of FBA for nearly 2 months! Time has flown by, I have been lucky to meet some of our members and look forward to meeting more. I have a few events under my belt and am starting to understand a little more about the family business sector. Everyone that I have met so far have been keen to meet, share and support others in similar situations. I have heard some great stories, if you have one that you would be happy to share, please email or call me, fbavic@fambiz.org.au.
It is great that we have the FBA National Conference in our home state, its on 17-19th August, a chance for increased learning and networking.
Other events that we have coming up:
- Family Business Directors Course – March 21st/ 22nd

Another event that is coming up in March is the Growth Summit being held on March 15th There is an opportunity we have made available at a reduced rate for those part of the family business community.
