As a small rural enterprise center, membership of CEAI is crucial to the survival of our business. Having access to a large network of similar enterprises and models of best practice means we can follow and learn from their experiences. It's also great comfort to have access to many supports if and when we need it.

CEAI has been a unique support structure and really helped us form appropriate responses to economic and market challenges as well as the day-to-day issues unique to an Enterprise Centre Manager. The active involvement and sharing of knowledge by both large and small entities provide a pool of knowledge to tap into, helps us build resilience to handle a myriad of challenges while providing real life role models to further develop sustainability and future expansion.
