GV BRaIN updates
News article released on Thursday 8 January 2009
The Goulburn Valley Business Rural and Industry Network (GV BRaIN) has secured an exciting line up of keynote speakers for the increasingly popular networking dinners in 2009.
The first dinner in February will feature journalist Phillip Adams and is expected to draw a large crowd.GV BRaIN Chairperson Kylie Trevaskis said GV BRaIN is offering a special package for those people wishing to attend the four dinners.
"We are currently offering a four dinner ticket package, which will save attendees $40 over the year when compared with the cost of buying tickets individually for each dinner," Ms Trevaskis said.
"More than 400 people attended the most recent GV BRaIN dinner so it is becoming more important to secure tickets well ahead of time."
Speakers for the other 2009 networking dinners are former Leader of the Australian Democrats Natasha Stott Despoja, founder of Fernwood Women's Health Clubs Diana Williams and former marathon runner Robert De Castella.
