The GSTR committee conducted a Strategic Workshop on 23 August to evaluate the relevance of our current and planned Marketing and Administrative strategies to take us forward for the next three to five years.

With the help of John Stevens, our facilitator, and the valuable contribution of some key industry members, a very successful workshop was held.

We are now in the process of evaluating the workshop findings, setting priorities and developing a strategic framework document, which we will share with our members once complete.
