Businesses nominated for the 2019 Mount Alexander Business Awards can now sign up for a mentoring session to help guide their entry.
\nOnce nominated, the next step is for the business to complete an entry form by Monday October 7.
\nThis year the council is introducing mentoring workshops to help businesses develop their business and marketing plans as part of the entry process.
\nThe two mentoring sessions will be run by local businesswoman Kerry Anderson from KA Rural Enterprises and will provide businesses with the tools they need to complete their entry.
\nDavid Leathem, council’s manager of economy and culture, said Ms Anderson was a highly respected advocate for business with broad experience in the sector and an extensive knowledge and passion for rural communities.
\n“Local businesses will benefit from Ms Anderson’s previous experience in a number of regional business awards and her practical approach to strategic business planning and development,” Mr Leathem said.
\nThe Mount Alexander Business Awards are run by Mount Alexander Shire Council in partnership with the Midland Express<\/i> and Castlemaine Mail<\/i>.
