During the pandemic shut-down period, MBN is holding extraordinary online Members’ Forum events. Non-member guests are welcome to join us at these Zoom meetings.
Successful people never reach their goals alone.
Extending the reach to resources that are available to local businesses, we are pleased to feature at this Forum speakers who can give advice on what is available at State Government level.
We will focus on assisting small businesses to regain their original status in terms of the marketing strategies, changes to past modus operandi and adapting to a new environment.
Come along and join our Zoom session to meet with Manningham’s Cr Mike Zafiropoulos and Ross Jennings of Small Business Mentoring Service Inc.
