What is Young Business Edge?

Young Business Edge is a sub-committee of Albury Business Connect and Business Wodonga and we aim to create networking and professional developments for young professionals and business owners between ages of 18 and 40 in our region.

Our Values

Inclusive

We love bringing people together. Diversity brings with it broader thinking, unique perspectives and wider overall experiences that enable us all to grow. Creating an environment where we can share is what we do best.

Energetic

Our youthful spirit is contagious. Our passion is a motivator. We show initiative, some get-up-and-go and are driven by actions. Our positivity, vitality and sense of purpose allow us to make things happen and will see individuals join us on the journey.

Progressive

We are open minded, forward looking, and modern in our thinking. We have an attitude focused on continuous improvement, development and increasing the general wellbeing of those who connect with us.

Connection

We are not in this alone. We are at our best when we share the journey and celebrate success with others. We build deeper relationships because of our ability to openly share our knowledge and experiences. We educate, mentor, support and build partnerships that are broadly beneficial.

We Lead

We stay true to who we are and we’re not afraid to innovate. We embrace change, new thinking, fresh opinions and perspectives. We will also stand for what is right, with equality, inclusiveness and diversity important to our stakeholders.

How we achieve that?

Throughout the year we plan two types of events. Meet & Mingle's are designed to be an easy and open space for all business owners and professionals to be able to come together and connect. This is sometimes paired with a business that will host us and tell their story. Some also have themes but they are open to our creativity and leadership to create an engaging event for our community.
Personal Development events are an opportunity for people to come together and learn. We have previously focused on topics such as Side Hustles and Start Ups, Property, Financial Success, Young Leaders and Personal Branding.

What does being on the committee mean?

Being on the YBE committee means that you have the opportunity to plan and create events and initiatives that bring together business people and young professionals in our community. This is a volunteer role.
The YBE committee generally meets on a three weekly basis for 1 hour to discuss upcoming events and initiatives and to plan for future events.
Each event has two leaders with the rest of the team supporting. If you are leading an event you can expect that additional hours may be required.
There is also the opportunity to be involved in other projects such as development of a sponsorship program, marketing, budgeting and more.
