Lee Griffiths - I have a passion for community and always have, this is why I do the work I do, facilitating ABDC training, workshops and strategic planning. I have spent the last 14 years working in local government and the not for profit sector creating the conditions for government and organisations to walk along side community to strengthen outcomes across Australia and the UK.

From my grassroots roots voluntary work to my previous leadership positions, the golden thread has always build on recognising the strengths, assets and opportunities communities already have to bring about the change they want.

Kodei Brooks - Kodei was previously a qualified baker and pastry chef and is a big fan of getting to know people. He loves to have a yarn, learn new things and generally enjoys being in the company of others. Kodei’s main interest is learning and he considers himself to be a perpetual student of life. His role in the organisation is broad and he could find himself doing anything from administration support of the community building team to reviewing policies and procedures from a Next Stage perspective to strengthen the organisation, and supporting the NDIS team with their compliance needs.

You will often find Kodei gathering relevant information from community development members to upload and create events on their ticketing system or creating content for the online course delivery platform. The topic of Next Stage Organisations fascinates Kodei and he finds that working horizontally has been a way that he has worked naturally, even within the top-down structures of his past. Kodei enjoys a good, deep dive into philosophical conversations about the structure of systems. Kodei believes that to be able to work within, research and understand better the ways of working for the future is both intriguing and exciting.
