On November 21st, the Bunbury Geographe Economic Alliance held our Annual General Meeting and Chairman’s dinner.
There was a positive feel on the night with the release of the new BGEA Strategic Plan and members voting to change the Board structure to feature a smaller, skills based Board with a number of other executive committees contributing to the organisation.
The next few months will be a busy time with the structural changes and we are excited to make progress on a number of our strategic priories.
For more information on BGEA’s activities over the past year have a look at our 2019 Annual Report.
We would also like to thank our guest speaker Peter Kenyan from the Bank of Ideas for providing an engaging presentation on regional community and economic development.
