Leadership and Legacy Dinner 2026

About the Event

Join us as we come together at the Leadership and Legacy Dinner 2026 to celebrate a year of impactful leadership, community contributions and enduring networks.

On the night, we'll be celebrating the graduation of the Williamson Community Leadership Program (WCLP) 2026 cohort, formally welcoming them as Fellows.

The evening will feature a keynote from the Honourable Wade Noonan (WCLP '05), Deputy Vice-Chancellor External Relations & Partnerships at Victoria University, and reflections from the WCLP 2026 Valedictorians who will share highlights from their leadership journey.

Enjoy a multi-course dinner and drinks and meaningful conversation in one of Melbourne’s premier venues.

Plan a reunion with your own program cohort, connect with other purpose-driven leaders, share what you’ve been working on, and look ahead to the future we are shaping together.

Whether you’re catching up with familiar faces or forging new connections, the Leadership and Legacy Dinner will inspire, celebrate, and strengthen our community.
