Roads Australia's Emerging Leaders Breakfast series is back. This year, we're offering young transport professionals the opportunity to network with their peers, gain sector knowledge and hear leadership insights from public sector leaders.

At our Perth event, you'll hear from Ashley Vincent, Deputy Director General, Office of Major Infrastructure Delivery (OMID), Department of Transport and Major Infrastructure (DTMI). Ashley will reflect on his career in the transport and infrastructure sector, share his tips for emerging leaders and the opportunities ahead in Western Australia.

This is an informal event with no assigned seating to provide an opportunity for the next generation of our industry's leaders to network.

Sponsored by CPB Contractors, our Emerging Leaders Program supports the industry's next generation of leaders by providing them with unique networking and learning opportunities.
