How long have you been part of the GSBN board?

I was a board member for many years, way back in an earlier lifetime. Then I had a spell away. I’ve been back on the board for about six-and-a-half years and president for the past five.

What do you love most about the GSBN?

I think the way it’s building into something bigger than just a local chamber of commerce – that we’ve become a business network and can now engage with businesses right across the Greater Shepparton area. The most powerful thing is being here tonight and seeing people meeting people from other businesses, connecting and hearing stories from our hosts.

Board member Wendy Crow

How long have you been part of the GSBN board?

About six years.

What do you love most about the GSBN?

I love the advocacy and that we are able to achieve our goals, such as the redevelopment of the CBD.

About four years.

What do you love most about the GSBN?

The exciting part is the networking, bringing businesses together and reinvigorating the transition from the chamber to the business network. It’s all about that togetherness with business.
