A welcome to 2026 by Chamber President, Peter Ceeney.

Gfm Director Headshots (4)

2026 presents us with tremendous opportunities. Our region continues to evolve and the strength of our local business sector will be crucial in shaping Latrobe City’s future. This year, the Chamber will be focusing on three key priorities: advocating for infrastructure and support that helps businesses thrive, creating more opportunities for you to connect and collaborate with fellow members and ensuring our collective voice is heard on issues that matter most to you.

We’re excited to roll out a new events program in 2026, including our monthly coffee catch ups and some great networking events with industry leading speakers and topics that address the challenges you’re facing. We’ll also be ramping up our advocacy efforts on workforce development and planning matters that impact our ability to do business locally.

Your Chamber is here to support you, champion your interests and help build the connections that drive success. I encourage you to make the most of your membership – attend our events, reach out when you need support and share your insights with us so we can represent you effectively.

Peter Ceeney, LCBC President 2026
