05.01.2022 We hare extremely fortunate to have Queensland Small Business Commissioner Maree Adshead as our June Guest Speaker on Thursday June 18. Ms Adshead was announced as the Queensland Small Business Commissioner, to help small business recover from the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. Hundreds of Queensland small businesses have shared their stories and experiences with me, and I know how tough things are right now, Ms Adshead said.... Many are facing challenges not seen before such as the inability to afford rent, pressure on cashflow, and many have had to find new ways to operate, this has struck at the heart of our local communities. Queensland relies on our small businesses to keep the economy moving, I am extremely pleased to be stepping into this new position to help provide much needed support for the sector to recover and rebuild. My role as Commissioner will expand on the work I have done in the previous role of Small Business Champion as an advocate and interface for small business, and will now also include additional support such as dispute resolution for small business tenants and landlords under the COVID-19 Emergency Response Act, Ms Adshead said.

You are leaders, innovators and... collaborators, dedicated to supporting vulnerable people, and helping to keep our communities safe, healthy and secure. We see you and appreciate everything you do. Women have been under-represented in national honours over decades, not because they were lacking in merit, but because they were nominated in fewer numbers.

Youll find a list of current awards, programs and opportunities from various organisations below. Now get nominating!
