The Lakes Entrance Action and Development Association – Business, Tourism and Events Committee (LEADA BTE) is inviting all local businesses and residents to show their support by becoming members ahead of their Annual General Meeting in October.
“Membership is more than just a formality, it is a way for businesses and individuals to have a real say in the future direction of Lakes Entrance,” chairperson of LEADA BTE Sharen Cameron said.
“Every member, whether a business or an individual, has full voting rights at the AGM, ensuring your voice is heard in shaping our priorities and projects.
“For businesses, membership comes with an incredible opportunity this year. All business members will receive access to the LEADA Marketing Accelerator Program (LEADA MAP) at no cost, a package valued at
nearly $900.
“This program, designed by leading marketing specialists, provides practical tools, training, and support to help local businesses grow their customer base and thrive in a competitive environment.”
LEADA BTE has been working hard behind the scenes on a wide range of initiatives, from assisting with popular events like Lakes Lights and Rocktober, preparing Lakes Entrance’s Top Tourism Town entry, to advocating for infrastructure improvements, collaborating with neighbouring business associations, and developing sustainability programs.
“Membership helps strengthen our collective voice and demonstrates support for the many projects already underway,” Ms Cameron said.
“We are also calling on individuals who love Lakes Entrance to get behind our work. For just $10, you can take out an individual membership, showing your support for our community’s growth while also securing voting rights at the AGM.
“By joining LEADA, you are not only investing in your own future but also contributing to a thriving, sustainable Lakes Entrance. Together, we can unlock new opportunities, celebrate our heritage, and ensure our town is a destination of choice for visitors and a place of pride for locals.
“Now is the time to step up, get involved, and help shape the future. Membership is quick and easy to arrange. To join, go to our website, leada.com.au/join, pick up a flyer from Vine Boutique, Sea Shanty or Prime Tourist Caravan Park, all situated in Myer Street, send a message to our Facebook page (LEADA) or email membership@leada.com.au.
“Join LEADA BTE. Support our activities. Contribute your ideas. Be part of the movement that is building a better Lakes Entrance,” Sharen said.
