Morganne Baldwin, Elite Real Estate Services – Committee Member;

The Committee will breathe a renewed focus into the CYC and will lead CYC into a new era of refreshed networking events, learning opportunities, initiatives focused on making a contribution to the leadership of the region and connecting our members with our current regional leaders to inspire and encourage an ongoing dialogue.
“The Cairns Chamber of Commerce are incredibly proud of the new CYC Committee and what they’ve already achieved in re-invigorating the CYC. The Chamber is inspired by their passion and dedication to elevating the capacity of our future generations of leaders” said Debbie-Anne Bender, CEO of the Cairns Chamber of Commerce.
CYC will hold a ‘meet your Committee’ networking event on Friday 22nd June and encourage all our young professionals, business people, innovators, influencers, movers, shakers and doers to come along and let us know what you’d like to see the CYC facilitating in the short term and in years to come.
