2026 Alpine Valleys Community Leadership Graduation & End of Year Celebration

Join us for our End of Year Celebration and Graduation event, bringing together Alumni, participants, partners, funders, supporters and friends from across our network.

The occasion marks the graduation of our 2026 Annual Program cohort and provides an opportunity to celebrate their journey through the AVCLP, alongside the many people connected to our programs and work across the region.

We look forward to a night of celebration and connection, catching up with familiar faces and welcoming new ones from across our broader community.

Guests will enjoy a two-course sit-down dinner, and we are delighted to welcome Kirsten Diprose as our keynote speaker. A journalist, broadcaster, communications specialist and farmer based in south-west Victoria, Kirsten has worked across television and radio and is the founder and host of Ducks on the Pond, a podcast for rural women. She is known for thoughtful and curious conversations about people, communication, community and the issues shaping life in regional Australia, and we look forward to the perspective she will bring to the evening.

We thank the Wangaratta Turf Club for their generosity in providing in-kind sponsorship for the event.
