We welcome as members all large and small businesses and individual operators who aim to enhance their own business opportunities and who recognise the value of working collectively through the Chamber to create optimal quality-of-life for the local community as a whole.

Each year the chamber attempts to facilitate a number of events, initiatives and promotions.

One of the biggest events we host is the annual business awards. This year's program was an outstanding success with another record year of nominations. It was encouraging to see yet another strong year of nominations, proving local business is thriving in the community.

We also strive to support and represent our members' business interests and provide a range of services which includes providing timely and reliable information to our members, promoting Dungog and districts as a destination for new business and encouraging spending on goods and services available locally.

Our monthly networking evenings and social events, hosted at venues throughout the Dungog Shire and featuring a guest speaker, offer an ideal platform for meeting, discussing and promoting business service and products.

As Chamber Alliance members through the NSW and Hunter Business Chambers, members are also able to receive a number of added benefits free of charge.

Funding for the DDCC comes almost entirely from membership and to continue to make the Chamber work we ask that you continue to support us by renewing your membership.

Membership renewals will be issued shortly.

If you are not a member and wish to find out more, head to our website www.ddcc.org.au. Or contact me via email at president@ddcc.org.au
