Members Only Breakfast …

Forum Members that is!

Are you on the members list? Jump into the new year with a networking breakfast meeting where all forum members can get together! 

The start to 2009 is certainly a far cry from that of 2008, the economy has changed substantially over the past year and the impact of the global financial crisis is likely to have a big impact on the manner in which business is conducted through the short, medium and long term.

Dominic Pelligana of KPMG will give you his views on the 'state of the state’ and the likely impact on Australian businesses and how you can best prepare your business for more challenging times. 

In addition, Jenny Bailey of KPMG will give a presentation on the recently announced Carbon Pollution Reduction Scheme and the impact it is likely to have on family owned businesses.

We hope you can attend this session which will give attendees ample opportunities to ask questions of our presenters.
