This new lineup brings a blend of experience and fresh perspectives, positioning the Chamber for continued success and growth. Cameron McDonald and Cathryn Lyall, who are returning to their roles as President and Vice President, bring valuable insights to the organisation. 

The newly appointed Treasurer, Michael Emmett, and Secretary, Rachel Edwards, are expected to contribute their skills and dedication to enhance the Chamber's financial and administrative functions.

Marie Beikmanis, serving as the Immediate Past President and a Life Member, will provide valuable guidance and continuity as the Chamber transitions to its new leadership team. The addition of the Directors, Greg Langford, Michael Cains, Anthony Hourigan, Nicole O'Brien, Cameron Thomas, and Tanya Emmett, continue to add fresh perspective and expertise from diverse backgrounds to the Chamber's board.

The Chamber also took a moment to express its gratitude to Aaron Shelley, who stepped down from his role as Treasurer and Board member. Aaron's contributions in the areas of financial reporting and governance have left a lasting positive impact on the Chamber, and his legacy will continue to benefit the organisation in the future.

The Kiama & District Business Chamber looks forward to the upcoming year with this reinvigorated team, eager to advocate for local businesses and foster economic growth in the region.
