BIEDO Update

BIEDO has undergone some significant changes recently as a result of the resignation of CEO and Business Financial Counsellor, Carmel Summers.  Carmel was with BIEDO for almost 3 years and displayed great dedication and commitment to the role and her clients.  Kristy Frahm has been appointed to the position of CEO following Carmel’s resignation. 

This is a time of renewal for BIEDO with a fresh outlook as they explore many different opportunities and develop their activities in line with their Strategic Plan.  At the heart of these activities remains their focus on community.  BIEDO has built strong connections in rural communities across our region and will continue to engage through their activities which include:

  • Women’s Wellness Events
  • Workshops and small training sessions – Grant Writing and Social Media
  • Partnering with organisations including TAFE Qld South West and Local Ambulance Committees to deliver workshops and courses in rural communities
