Amplify our Voices: Changemakers Business Lunch
Description
Amplify Our Voices: Changemakers Business Lunch
Presented by Helix Planning & SFE Loans in conjunction with Maclean District Business Chamber
A Celebration of Leadership, Voice and Community
Join us for the Changemakers Business Lunch this NSW Women's Week and International Women's Day. It's a powerful and purposeful leadership gathering celebrating the Women, Men and Changemakers shaping the future of our region. This is not just a networking lunch, but a leadership room. We are bringing together local Businesswomen, respected leading Men and Community Decision-Makers for a lunchtime of real conversation, connection and action.
The day will feature:
• A changemaking panel with local Businesswomen sharing their stories, challenges and leadership journeys
• A changemaking panel with our community's leading Men, stepping into responsibility
• A facilitated workshop designed to turn conversation into real-world action
• A beautifully curated grazing platter, business lunch and dessert served throughout the experience
This is a celebration of women’s leadership, community strength and the people who care deeply about where our region is heading.
It is also a call to responsibility. Strong communities are built when capable people are supported, heard and empowered to lead, and this Amplify our Voices: Changemakers Business Lunch exists to amplify those voices and bring the right people into the same room.
Men are very welcome and strongly encouraged to attend. For real changemaking to occur, we need you to be not only part of the conversation, but also the action.
If you run a business, lead a team, sit on a board, run a club, employ locals or shape decisions in this valley, this conversation is for you.
Listen to our interviews. Come for the lunch. Stay for the leadership. Leave part of something bigger.
Our MC & Workshop Facilitator for the day is Sarah Eifermann
Our Panellists include: Haley Hodgson, Lindsay McLennan, Superintendent Joanne Schultz, Dee Zahra, Angela James, Mick Corbett, Clive Smith, Matthew Saunders and Stephen Ryan.
Our Speaker is Veronica Alexander
