Welcome to 2008! 
For those of you who have already developed your business plan for the upcoming year and have included business growth, product recognition or increased profitability as key objectives for the year, you are certainly headed in the right direction by attending functions and taking out a membership with the Brisbane Junior Chamber of Commerce.
The BJCC prides itself on delivering quality presentations, sourcing speakers from diverse backgrounds who present on pertinent topics for today's business environment.
We organise monthly Networking Events - aptly named Executive Networks - on the first Wednesday of each month where Brisbane's up and coming Executive Talent meet over a quiet drink and establish business contacts that may assist your business growth and brand recognition. Our well attended Members Dinners are held at prestigous restaurants offering a private area for you to dine with like minded people and grow your business contacts whilst enjoying a sumptous meal and partaking in some lively banter.
Finally the BJCC also offers some great opportunties to expand your social circles: we extend a warm invitation to you and your friends to join us whether it's playing lawn bowls (or trying to master lawn bowls for the first time), enjoying a winery tour to ascertain the difference between a Grange Hermitage and a Asti, or learning to surf and stay upright on a board for more than 2 minutes. For those of you who enjoy spending a night on the town in all your finery whilst supporting a good cause we have the BJCC Charity Black Tie Ball and for those with energy to burn and a burning desire to win we hold the highly successful BJCC Corporate Touch Football competition - why not start putting your team together now!
I look forward to meeting with you at our next function!
