Quick out of the Blocks Business Recovery Forum
Business Wodonga hosted this forum recently which was facilitated by Susan Benedyka and attracted over 40 business people over 2 Zoom sessions. An action plan from the forum is being developed and we are keen to keep the business community involvement and collaboration happening so if you wish to be involved, would like a copy of the report when completed, or would like to contribute your ideas please contact Business Wodonga. The forum has attracted interest and note in places like the Victorian Government. Thanks to everyone involved to date. As we are now transitioning into the recovery phase in Victoria, we want to best support you and your business, so keep us informed of your plans and send through any queries or issues you have and we will do our best to assist with the answers. Next week we are highlighting our members, showcasing "Innovation in business" as many local businesses have made some amazing adaptions to this pandemic.
If you have a business highlight you would like to share please email mail@businesswodonga.com.au
