Gosford Erina Business Chamber (GEBC) is looking forward to a busy 2024, with Peter Lawley re-elected as president for the next 12 months.
Anna Cruckshank and Ralf Damen will serve as vice presidents and David Evers as treasurer.
Also joining the Board this year are new directors Mia Van Tubbergh, (Elm Professional Services), Mel Archer (Foundry Cowork) and Peggoty Koszek (Fortunity), whilst directors continuing are Edgar Adams, Michael Bell and Darren Fisher.
“GEBC Board vision is to create a vibrant regional capital that will support business and the community through facilitating appropriate engagement with and between all stakeholders,” Lawley said.
“With the developments occurring in the CBD, and the growth in business activity in the surrounding suburbs, GEBC is looking forward to being an active partner with business in the area.
“The Board members cover a broad cross section of the business community, and are geographically located from Somersby to Erina – the southern growth corridor of the Central Coast.
“During 2023, GEBC Board developed a strategy plan, with the five key focus areas being better business, better education, better infrastructure, better industry, and better tourism.
“Each director has a portfolio role focused on one or two of these areas.
“I look forward to working with my fellow directors on these key areas to assist in the revitalisation of the city of Gosford and surrounding suburbs over the next 12 months and into the future.
“It’s taken some years, but we are starting to see the developments and growth in the capital of the Central Coast that will assist the community and businesses alike.
“It is an honour to lead such a dedicated voluntary group of committed business professionals.”
