The Kiama and District Business Chamber unveiled exciting changes at its spectacular Christmas Party, marking a new chapter for the organisation.

Recently rebranded as the Kiama Business Network, the Chamber's new name reflects a commitment to inclusivity, particularly for online and remote businesses that are becoming an integral part of the region's economy.

A fresh logo and colour scheme, crafted with Brenna from Summerland Studio, will soon debut, symbolising this forward-thinking approach.

Led by newly appointed President Cathryn Lyall and supported by an enthusiastic team of directors, the Network is set to launch workshops tailored to members' needs in the coming year.

Vice President Matt King emphasised the importance of connecting directly with members through personalised conversations to understand their challenges and aspirations. Plans also include partnerships with organisations like Headspace to bring youth mental health initiatives to the forefront, benefiting local businesses and their families.

The festive event celebrated not only these milestones but also the vibrant business community of Kiama, setting a positive tone for the year ahead.
