Business Associates Program
The Business Associates Program is an initiative of the Advisory Board, its objective being to expand and improve the activities that link the university with the south-eastern Melbourne business and education communities. Now in its tenth year of operation, the main feature of the Business Associates Program is the Business Breakfast Seminar series. In 2009, the program will again be delivered in partnership with Frankston City Council, Frankston Chamber of Commerce and Mornington Peninsula Shire Council. These organisations continue to work collaboratively with Monash University to promote the series. The seminars provide a forum to bring together leading Monash academics and other community leaders and the local Peninsula community, providing a useful networking opportunity for members of the business, government and education communities.
