As you are aware, I have enjoyed a long association with the I.B.L. and found that the benefits of continued membership with your organization is certainly echoed by business colleagues that I have met through your organized networking opportunities.

One of the many key success elements attributed to the I.B.L. is the focus on attracting business leaders from our region as members.

This alone attracted me to join the group as my intention was to grow our business through making new contacts and having our experience and expertise recognized by the business community.

Through the excellent networking functions, Industry Leaders are provided with the opportunity of talking business with business people, so to speak. This alone is a most important facet.

The Institute of Business Leaders represents a solid core of Senior Industry Professionals throughout the Gold Coast Region, I am certain that with our continued support, my particular concerns relating to the Marine Infrastructure needs will be well represented at government lobby group meetings.
