| 2009 Commonwealth Bank Greater Port Macquarie Business Awards: Thank-you! | ||
|
500 members and guests joined the celebration of business at the 2009 Commonwealth Bank Greater Port Macquarie Business Awards gala dinner on 4th September. What a great night it was and congratulations too all nominees, finalists and winners! Chamber Executive Officer, Liesa Davies, noted that, "In its third year the Awards have, by all accounts, been bigger and better than ever. This wouldn't be possible without support from our generous sponsors, judges, organising committee, volunteers, members and the local business community participants. A huge thank you to all involved and we look forward to having your support again in 2010". While the 2010 Awards are a long way off, the organising committee is already turning its thoughts in that direction. An important element of preparing for next year is the 2009 awards wrap up. In that regard, members are encouraged to provide feedback on the awards via e-mail to executive@portchamber.com.au |
