That’s a Wrap on Our PRBA Networking Series!

What a fantastic way to finish our three-part PRBA Networking Series!

Over three events, we’ve brought together local business owners and professionals to connect, share ideas, hear real business stories and build new relationships across Palmerston and the rural area.

A very special thank you to our three guest speakers:

⭐ Karen Sheldon – 50 Years in Business
⭐ Amanda Challen – Work Your Way to the Top
⭐ Colin West – Lessons from Building a Top End Business

Thank you for generously sharing your time, experiences, challenges and lessons with our local business community. Having speakers who are willing to share the realities behind their business journeys is what makes these conversations so valuable.

And, of course, thank you to everyone who attended. Whether you came to one event or all three, asked a question, met someone new or simply joined us for a drink and a chat — you helped make the series a success.

📸 Here are a few photos from our final networking evening with Colin West at Rydges Palmerston.

The three-part series might be finished, but PRBA certainly isn’t slowing down! October Business Month is next, with four FREE PRBA events coming up across Palmerston, Coolalinga and Humpty Doo.

Keep connecting. Keep the conversations going. And we’ll see you at the next one!

Event 2 of 3 – What a Great Night!

Another fantastic evening of connection, conversation and local business insights at the second of our three PRBA Networking Events.

A huge thank you to our guest speaker Amanda Challen, who shared her experiences, challenges and lessons from her career through Work Your Way to the Top. It was wonderful to hear a genuine local story and see the conversations continue around the room afterwards.

Thank you to Casa De Bilske, Howard Springs for hosting us, and to everyone who came along, connected with other local businesses and supported PRBA.

These events are all about bringing our Palmerston and rural business community together — creating opportunities to meet, share experiences, learn from each other and build stronger local connections.

PRBA Networking Series Part one

20/08/2026

What a fantastic way to kick off our PRBA Networking Series!

Last night we had the pleasure of welcoming a little bit of Territory royalty – the wonderful Karen Sheldon AM – to the Darwin Trailer Boat Club for the first of our three Palmerston Regional Business Association Inc Networking Events.

Karen shared stories, experiences and lessons from an incredible 50+ years in business, talking about staying relevant, adapting to change and the value of backing yourself and your community.

A huge thank you to Karen for so generously sharing her time and knowledge, and to everyone who joined us for a relaxed evening of conversation, connections and plenty of laughs.

Thank you also to the Darwin Trailer Boat Club for hosting us and providing a great space, delicious food and a relaxed setting for bringing local business people together.

📸 Here are a few moments from the night!
