Business News, 30 June 2022
Dear members,
In the lead up to the borders opening at the end of the week, we are hard at work providing Safe Business Operations workshops and hospitality staff preparedness workshops across Santo and Efate, including a cohort of over 200 small business owners this Friday on Ifira. Following on from our successful AGM last week we are putting out the call for nominations for the Agriculture and Women rep seats for VCCI’s Council, more info below, and we are proudly launching our business development program in partnership with the Global Green Growth Institute. More on that to come!
NOMINATIONS FOR AGRICULTURE AND WOMENS REPRESENTATIVE SEATS ON THE COUNCIL OPEN NOW!
As per the CCIV Act, at the first Council meeting after the AGM the new Council votes to fill the Agriculture representative seat and Women’s representative seat on the VCCI Council. Nominations are now open for these positions on the Council, and we will be open to receiving nominations up to COB 13th July, 2022.
We encourage nominations from dedicated members of the business community who would like to represent their industry sector (Agriculture) and their fellow women in business (Women’s representative).
Please send your completed form (attached here) and current business license to the General Manager, Astrid Boulekone, at generalmamager@vcci.vu, or drop it into the VCCI Offices in Port Vila.
We look forward to your nominations!
