Forbes Business Chamber is connecting business and community in Forbes and this week's upcoming AGM is an opportunity to be part of it.
Long-term member and vice president Marg Duggan is encouraging more business people, particularly younger people in business, to come to the AGM and connect with the Chamber.
"We've got to get people engaged," she said.
"There are huge amounts of benefits from being involved in the business chamber."
Those range from the practical advice and insight Business NSW offers around legal and workplace requirements that help businesses keep up to date, through to the partnerships with the local community, council and events.
