The Murray-Riverina regional arm of the NSW Business Chamber has recently unveiled its new regional identity as part of a broader agenda to strengthen the business voice of the region with government.
“We want to get a better deal for the business community in the Murray-Riverina and we intend to achieve that goal by developing a united voice for our region,” said Ben Foley, Murray-Riverina NSW Business Chamber Regional Manager.
“Forming a stronger regional chamber for the Murray-Riverina means that our members are represented at every level – local, regional, state and national.”
The launch took place in Wagga Wagga on the 10th November and pictured below are representatives from local chambers of commerce and business associations from all throughout the Murray-Riverina.
