Chamber Committee

The leadership of Maitland Business Chamber is made of an elected board of 14 .  This includes the President, Vice-President, Treasurer, Immediate Past President and ten Executive Members.

The Chamber administration is carried out by our Executive Officer, an employee of the organisation.

The executive team represents a cross section of the business community, with individuals with expertise in development, accounting, the law, rural business, public relations, hospitality, retail, construction, finance, town planning, business coaching, media and local government.

If a member has difficulties with red tape, legislation or any matter affecting their business, the elected members are there to represent the member in achieving the best possible outcome.
