February Networking Breakfast – Connections, Conversations & Community

What a way to kick off 2025 with our February Networking Breakfast at the beautiful Flower Power Café! The morning was alive with energy as familiar faces reconnected, new business relationships blossomed, and conversations flowed over great coffee.

Our Casual Networking Series continues to be a fantastic way to support each other, share insights, and celebrate the incredible work happening across our local business community. President Jason Woodward delivered an insightful update, highlighting the projected growth for the Maitland LGA—an exciting opportunity for businesses to thrive. He also shared sponsorship initiatives involving Maitland Health Stays and Youth Express and gave us a sneak peek at the Chamber’s Strategic Plan for the year ahead (stay tuned for more details!).

Jason also reminded members about the Business NSW Alliance Program, an invaluable resource for small businesses, encouraging everyone to take advantage of the benefits by opting in.

A huge thank you to everyone who attended and contributed to the morning’s vibrant atmosphere. Running a business comes with its challenges, but surrounding ourselves with like-minded professionals keeps the momentum going. The morning was filled with engaging discussions, shared experiences, and plenty of laughs—even the resident magpies decided to chime in with their own unique commentary!

If you missed this one, don’t worry—our next event is not to be missed! Join us in the inspiring gallery space at Maitland Regional Art Gallery for our annual Women in Business Breakfast on 27 March. We can’t wait to see you there!
