SUMMARY:BMA Special General Meeting
DESCRIPTION:Notice of Special Meeting \nA request has been made and accepted to hold a Special General Meeting for the following purposes: \n\nElection of new committee and executive roles\n\nIt has been identified that the membership of five of the committee members elected at the AGM (10 July) had not been fully processed. This process will be complete by 23 August and therefore\, as per the Model Rules for the association\, all five will be eligible for election to the committee. Consequently\, we will re-elect the Committee and Executive for BMA at the Special General Meeting so that due process is upheld. \n\nMembership fees \n\nThe committee has proposed that we implement a flat rate of $120 per annum\, but only charge the fee for a maximum of 6 months (i.e $60) this financial year. We will vote on this at the SGM. \nThe meeting will be held at: \nThe Taproom on 23 August at 5:00pm \nA minimum of ten members are required to form a quorum\, so we ask that you please confirm your attendance at this meeting by emailing gen@businessmountalexander.org.au

SUMMARY:Business Planning Essentials
DESCRIPTION:A clear business plan is an essential determiner of long-term business success – as the saying goes\, ‘fail to plan and you plan to fail’. \nGet the tools\, templates and support you need to guide you through the key steps in the planning process and give your business the best chance of success. \nBusiness planning helps you to think ahead to identify and avoid future issues and more importantly discover and explore new opportunities. \nA good business plan creates a clear vision and roadmap for your business\, which can be a vital tool when seeking finance\, leasing premises\, getting permits and engaging staff. \nAnd it doesn’t have to be long or complex. The key question is “what has to change to get us from where we are now to where we want to be”. In just two hours\, this seminar will help you navigate through the ‘now-where-how’ to answer that question and to create a clear one-page plan for your business. \nThis tried and tested seminar has been helping Victorian business get started for over 10 years and will introduce you to the business frameworks that will fast-track your success.
