Volunteers wanted for business chamber board FRANKSTON Council is calling for volunteers to join the board of the Frankston Business and Industry Chamber. Expressions of interest for board positions are now open. In its 2021/2022 budget, council agreed to spend $200,000 in ratepayer funding to establish the business chamber. It says that it will step back once it is set up so it can run independently of council. Former Australasian Association of Convenience Stores CEO Jeff Rogut is overseeing the development of the new
chamber. He said that the chamber’s early working group meetings “have been extremely productive and well attended by a mix of business and industry representatives from sole traders right through to major employers such as Chisholm TAFE and Monash University, as well as our local MP Paul Edbrooke and members of the Frankston Revitalisation Board.” “The working group meetings have crystallised the vision for the new chamber and helped set clear expectations around what the chamber will deliver on
behalf of local and business industries including advocacy and networking as well as information sharing and training opportunities,” he said. “What is absolutely key in the establishment of this new chamber is that it is developed by business and industry, for business and industry. “The next step in the process is to recruit a board who will be responsible for the day to day running of the chamber.” For more information email jeff.rogut@frankston.vic.gov.au
