MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT
Dear Members and Friends, 2018 has been a pivotal year for the French-Australian Chamber of Commerce & Industry, its members, stakeholders and employees. The Chamber is consistently growing with the establishment of a federal approach permitting each of the 5 Chapters to lead its local presence and events with our State Chapter Councillors. With over 100 business events, we have certainly delivered on our goal of improving our members' network through a variety of industry seminars and briefings, workshops, social gatherings and our annual flagships bringing together attendees from diverse industries, levels and backgrounds. We have had a successful FY18 in terms of our memberships, events and business services; all figures having increased from the previous year. The Chamber’s Total Income for 2018 increased by 20% compared to 2017. This result was driven by the continued execution of industry specific seminars, noteworthy speakers and prestigious guests. This is also reflected through our Business Forum, which has grown to be an unmissable event in the Team France annual calendar, taking place in three major Australian cities: Brisbane, Adelaide and Sydney in 2018. We are determined to continuously bring innovation, visibility and success to our members and business community. Looking at the year ahead, we are committed to deliver on our set objectives for 2019. With a consolidated operational team of engaged and energised people, and each business unit continuing to perform at the top of its class, we remain dedicated to our members and the communities in which we operate. Finally, I would like to thank all stakeholders for their contribution and commitment to our Chamber. We have come a long way and 2019 will celebrate 120 years of the French-Australian Chamber of Commerce & Industry.
François Romanet Federal President of the French-Australian Chamber of Commerce & Industry
