I recently attended the Industry Leaders fund event to promote Family Business and was pleased to see how many family businesses members have been recipients of the funding.   Zoe Detmold gave a wonderful account of how this privately funded grants scheme had allowed her to study and further enhance her skills. This is a wonderful opportunity for many family businesses to access higher education from a range of local national and international providers.  

We had our State conference in late May and while the attendance was lower than usual the day was a resounding success.  A huge thank you to all of the committee who worked on the sessions and the speakers for their engaging and interesting presentations.  I know I came away with some ideas to work on for our business.  

We have a Forum Breakfast coming up on the 22nd of August.  For more information on these events you can visit the website.  Have you visited our Facebook page?
