Fraser Coast Young Professionals are back

THE FRASER Coast Young Professionals group is back, with a focus on ‘Enhancing the Fraser Coast by building successful, productive business relationships to better the future of our region and focusing on retaining and encouraging young professionals in the region.’

The committee consists of six dedicated young professionals from across the Fraser Coast with Sara Diana Faraj as president, Luke Strochnetter as vice president, Amelia Pallpratt as Secretary, Lachlan Wheeler as treasurer, Jack West on social media and Sjuul Gorissen as events coordinator.

The Fraser Coast Young Professionals is focused on seeing the Fraser Coast grow as an economic and social hub of attraction, with diverse career opportunities for today and the future. It strives to support projects and policies that will deliver jobs, provide career growth and continually strive to lead, educate, and encourage others of opportunities in the Fraser Coast Region. The Fraser Coast Young Professionals works in collaboration with both the Hervey Bay and Maryborough Chamber of Commerce.

President Sara Diana Faraj says, “In a growing community, it is imperative that we support and retain our young people to ensure a diverse working economy.

“Whilst the Fraser Coast is an ageing community, those that come here to retire utilise local businesses and services in their leisure thus, making the Fraser Coast an enviable location to live, work and play.

“Additionally, more younger families are choosing to call this paradise home, and we must work hand in hand to ensure we retain them and build strong networks and relationships that will give back to the Fraser Coast.”

The Fraser Coast Young Professionals committee will meet as required and aims to host monthly events that will be run during the morning and evening rotating between Hervey Bay and Maryborough locations supporting as many local businesses as possible.

All young professionals or those just starting out in their careers between the ages of 18 to 35 are welcome.
