If you have received an email about the annual general meeting (AGM) it is because your business is a member of NSW Business Chamber Ltd (Company), which trades under various names, including Business NSW, My Business, Business Sydney, Business Western Sydney and Business Illawarra.

You may have agreed to become a member when (by way of example):

• you purchased a membership package with us;

• you wanted to access certain ‘gated’ information or content on one of our websites (eg businessnsw.com); or 

• you became a member of a local chamber of commerce in New South Wales. We have reciprocal membership arrangements with approximately 200 local chambers of commerce in New South Wales (Participating LCCs). These reciprocal membership arrangements are offered to members of Participating LCCs when they join their relevant Participating LCC.

We are legally required to notify all members about the AGM. Provision of the notice of meeting is a corporate communication required under the Company’s constitution. As such, it is not possible to opt-out of such communication. Such a communication will only cease when you cease to be a member of the Company.

You have received this email as the representative of a member of NSW Business Chamber Ltd.

A member cannot unsubscribe from a corporate communication. If you have previously unsubscribed, you will have opted out of all marketing communications.

You cannot opt-out of receiving communications we are legally required to send to you (eg giving you notice of the annual general meeting). Such communications will only cease upon the cessation of membership of the company.

Communications about the annual general meeting are corporate communications.

You cannot unsubscribe from these. We are legally required to give you (as the member representative) notice of the annual general meeting. Such communications will only cease upon the cessation of membership of the company.

Annual general meetings occur once a year. However, the company may call a general meeting of members at any time, in which case notice of the general meeting would need to be given to members.r
