The NSW Government is supporting the Yass Valley business community through their Small Business Month program being held throughout the month of November. 

The program, ‘Connect for Success,’ which will be run in partnership with Council and The Yass Valley Business Chamber, will see 11 events hosted across the valley to encourage networking, skills development, and support for our local small businesses.

By attending NSW Small Business Month events, businesses will learn new skills and new ideas to help navigate the road ahead and get the opportunity to connect and collaborate with other business owners and operators across the Yass Valley region.

Yass Valley Councils Acting Economic Development Manager, Georgia Patmore said the ‘connect for success’ theme of small business month sums up the path we need to follow as an industry.

“The Yass Valley business community holds such a diverse range of knowledge, experience and skills and we have to be able to collaborate and support one another in this current climate to see success in our region,” Ms Patmore said.

“We have two networking events during small business month to promote reconnecting with our business industry and nine workshops that we have contracted knowledgeable local service providers to host,”

Jacquie Tewes from the Yass Valley Business Chamber said the range of workshops and events on offer cater to all skill levels.

“Small businesses in our region are our lifeline and we need to be able to support them, by coming together, supporting these events and supporting our local service providers who are hosting each of these events,” Ms Tewes said.

The calendar of events are for all businesses located within Yass Valley – online registration is required for all events.

Small Business Month is the only dedicated festival of activities for small businesses in NSW helping our state’s businesses ‘Connect for Success’.
