The Picton Chamber of Commerce says it wants to better represent and support the diverse range of businesses within the Wollondilly Shire.

Changing its name is part of the transformation, and that’s exactly what this business group has done.

Following a unanimous vote at the May chamber meeting, the Picton Chamber will now be known as the Wollondilly Business Chamber.

Geoff O’Brien, president of the newly named Wollondilly Business Chamber, expressed his enthusiasm for the change.

“This rebranding marks a pivotal moment for our organisation,’’ he said.

“The new name, Wollondilly Business Chamber, better reflects the diversity of our growing membership and our commitment to inclusivity.

“The name will enable the chamber to better advocate for businesses across the whole shire and fulfill our mission to create a platform where all businesses can thrive by fostering a stronger sense of community and collaboration,” Mr O’Brien said.

The executive committee will be implementing all necessary statutory requirements in the coming weeks to finalise the transition and the new name and brand will be officially launched at the chamber’s June meeting.

“We are excited to embark on this new chapter,’’ Mr O’Brien said.

“Our goal is to create an environment where every business, regardless of size or industry, feels supported and empowered.

“The Wollondilly Business Chamber will continue to advocate for local businesses, drive economic growth, and contribute to the vibrant community we are proud to be a part of,’’ he said.

The chamber invites all current members, local businesses, and community stakeholders to join in celebrating this exciting development at its next meeting on Wednesday, June 26 from 5.15pm, at the Tahmoor Inn.

This milestone meeting, which is themed “Chamber Reflections’’ with past presidents and life members in attendance, will reflect on some of the chamber achievements over the decades. 

It will also include the launch of the new logo brand and website.
