Recently co-founding Northern Rivers Business Literacy group, Cameron and Susan are mutually driven to help others in business. Financial resilience and business literacy revolve around knowing how to navigate and avoid painful business situations, and how to find opportunity from obstacles, 'profit from the pain'.

Join these two experienced speakers as share a little of their individual business learnings ‘back from the brink’ and into profits. The focus is on new thinking, new ways of doing business in Northern Rivers. You are welcomed into a conversational style that invites you to ask questions. Share your own stories of profits…or pain. We want to hear about your resourcefulness – or challenges!

Byron Bay Chamber of Commerce is pleased to support The Community Hub in a collaboration with the Byron Community Centre to strengthen Byron business’ financial resilience. Increased individual resilience creates greater community resilience.

If resilience is the ability to bounce back after difficult situations we are asking you - the business community ‘What does a local business need to bounce back?’.
