Lifetime Members
We honour the valued contributions made by our Members past and present, who go well above and beyond, with their service to the Chamber. Since our inception in 1991, the recognition of Life Membership has been bestowed to several Members, including the following:
- Karen Neuendorf OAM
- John Schroder
- Melinda Shelton
- Leigh Rachow
- Myles McNamara
- Terry Ell
- Gillian Taylor
- Brendan Bathersby
Nominations for Life Membership are presented to the Executive Committee. With the citation discussed, a seconder for the nomination is called for and a vote is conducted.
In 2023, this honour was extended to our current President, Brendan Bathersby. The Exec Committee pulled off an amazing act of secrecy to prepare the citation, in recognition of Brendan’s extended tenure and leadership as President. With Bathersby Legal also a long-term sponsor, Brendan has driven the growth and purpose of the modern-day Chamber. With a unanimous decision, the conspiracy thickened. The surprise honour was presented on the un-suspecting “comrade” as he concluded the delivery his Annual President’s Report during the 2023 AGM.

“I have been attending the Chamber since joining in October 2023. What an amazing community to be involved wit. Everyone has been so welcoming since my first event last year. I have met some amazing people and made some strong connections, with likeminded people in other businesses and I could not recommend this chamber enough.”

Sharon has been very lovely and helpful introducing me to the members and from my experience everyone has been happy to engage and create new connections. I would recommend the Chamber to anyone who is looking to get involved in networking with other businesses on the Coast :)”
