Bendigo alliance to bolster VECCI’s support for regional business

VECCI Chief Executive Mark Stone said VECCI is "delighted to form an alliance with the Bendigo Business Council (BBC) and is committed to the long-term relationship and benefits for members".

"This agreement enables VECCI to enhance our reach in the local area, providing greater opportunity to develop policies that drive job creation, trade, investment and business growth in the Bendigo region," Mr Stone said.

"The alliance provides VECCI members in the Bendigo region and BBC members with a considerably expanded suite of benefits.

"We are pleased to welcome BBC members to the benefits of our VECCI Essentials membership. Benefits include access to business tools and templates, business intelligence through a range of publications and discounts on VECCI networking events, consulting services and training courses.

"We encourage VECCI members in the Bendigo region to capitalise on the BBC’s membership offerings including access to briefings and innovation forums, business promotional opportunities and discounts on BBC policy events and other functions.

"The agreement supports VECCI’s focus on regional business in the lead-up to our “Victoria Summit 2015 – Regional Victoria”. To be held in Bendigo (13-14 August 2015), the event will give regional leaders from throughout Victoria the opportunity to inform the State Government and Opposition on the policy changes needed to keep their regions growing.

"A workshop will be held in Bendigo on Tuesday 16 June, giving local businesses the chance to contribute to the Summit’s agenda.

"VECCI is delighted with this agreement that will be of great benefit to Victorian business, particularly those in the Bendigo region.
