Our 2016 Christmas Breakfast was another great day - Paul Wheelton, OAM (an now AM) addressed the audience and related his experiences in making his business so successful that he was able to devote a great proportion of his time to philanthropic pursuits.

Paul outlined how the main 'tool' he utilised was his 'team'.  Expenditure on improving the skill sets of those in his organisation returned in multiple ways to the business and he couldn't stress enough how HIS business was all about the people both internally and externally.

CCCI President, Edwina Ricci, gave a brief summation of the work that had been undertaken by the Chamber during 2016 and thanked our numerous supporters for their involvement during the year.  She also summarised the current position with the project 'Maroondah, the City of Wellbeing'' and the significant progress made to date.

50% of ticket sales this year were provided to Maroondah Home Assist so that those less fortunate than ourselves could have a slightly better Christmas this year.

2016's Breakfast was another example of how Croydon Chamber is working tirelessly to improve the culture of the organisations in our local area.
