When you join the Latrobe City Business Chamber, you gain a dedicated partner in business, committed to supporting you with the tools, resources, and opportunities needed for your success. Benefits of joining the chamber include:
Advocacy & Representation
Latrobe City Business Chamber actively represents a wide range of interests for our members to local and state government, advocating for policies and initiatives that promote a favourable business environment and drive economic growth in the region.
As part of our commitment to our members, we aim to provide strong and reliable leadership on all matters related to business in the Latrobe City region while also providing comment to relevant media outlets on relevant topics and issues affecting our business community.
VRCA Membership: In 2024, the Chamber joined the Victorian Regional Chambers Alliance where we attend monthly meetings and an annual development day where various regional chambers collaborate and strategise on issues affecting business in regional Victoria.
Networking & Relationship Building
Networking is essential for building relationships, fostering partnerships, and uncovering new business opportunities. As a member of the Latrobe City Business Chamber, you’ll have access to a wide range of networking events and activities designed to help you connect with fellow businesses, industry leaders, and potential clients. Some of the networking opportunities you can look forward to are:
Business After Dark: Our Business After Dark events provide a relaxed and informal setting for members to mingle, exchange ideas, and forge new connections. These events are held at various locations throughout the Latrobe region and offer a great opportunity to meet other business owners in a casual setting.
Workshops and Seminars: In addition to networking events, we offer workshops and seminars on topics ranging from marketing and branding to finance and technology. These events not only provide valuable knowledge and skills but also offer opportunities to connect with like-minded professionals.
Annual Peoples Choice Awards:
An annual celebration of excellence and innovation within our business community, The Peoples Choice Awards provide a platform to recognise and honour the outstanding achievements of local businesses in the Latrobe Region.
This prestigious event allows members of the community to cast their votes and showcase their support for their favourite businesses across various categories.
By participating in the People’s Choice Awards, businesses not only gain valuable recognition and exposure but also demonstrate their commitment to excellence and customer satisfaction.
Marketing & Promotion
We help showcase your business through various promotional channels, including our website, social media platforms, and Chamber events, helping you reach a wider audience and attract new customers.
