RCCIWA Members Forum – June 13th and 14th 2019  
Planning has already commenced for the first biannual RCCIWA Members Forum, to be held in Perth at Parliament House on Thursday June 13th and at The Mercure Hotel Perth on Friday June 15th.  For this first Forum of 2019, we are looking at what technology we may be able to utilise so that members unable to make it to Perth, can still participate and contribute. We will keep you posted on this. We will also be managing the registration for the meetings and the BAH via an online platform – so hopefully this makes it easier for everyone. 

I am also pleased to announce that the NAB have very generously agreed to host our Business After Hours which will showcase great produce and beverages from Regional WA. The terrific team from Accor Hotels WA will be able to take the night off and join us for quality networking and NAB hospitality. 

In order for us to plan the Forum so that it is relevant and informative for you, we would love you feedback on the following – just email me on ceo@regionalchamberswa.com.au  with any suggestions you may have: 

• Members of Parliament you would like us to invite 

• Questions for those MP’s 

• Topics and issues, you would love covered on Day two, the Operational Day 

• Any guest speakers you would like to hear from on either day 

• Any suggestions you have for the format and the timings of both days 

• We have larger capacity for our BAH, so please start thinking about any of your members who may be based in Perth, that you would like us to invite. We will put out a request for this next month.
