Thank you Joanne Jessop for your post and kind words! What an incredible night in Brisbane! 🌟Our Brisbane launch event exceeded all expectations, bringing together our 2025 Observers, dedicated host boards, and prospective partners for an evening of connection, inspiration, and shared purpose. The energy in the room was buzzing - from our Observers who are just beginning their governance journeys, to our host boards who are committed to developing Australia's next generation of diverse leaders, to the organisations exploring how they can be part of this transformation. A huge thank you to Greg Ewing BSc MAICD and the entire AICD team for hosting us in their fantastic Brisbane facilities. We're grateful for the partnership and support that makes events like this possible. To our host boards who attended - your commitment to nurturing emerging talent is what makes this program work. To our 2025 Brisbane Observers - your enthusiasm and thoughtful questions reminded us why we do this work. Special thanks to Jane Crombie facilitating our Q&A session, Richard Hall and Mateja Hawley for sharing their valuable insights. Finally, thank you to our team for making this happen. Our fabulous CEO Cathy Robinson for hosting the event, Belinda Da Silva and Rachel 🙋♀️ E. for bringing it all together. For organisations considering joining us as host boards or corporate partners, or individuals thinking about applying for 2026 - we'd love to continue the conversation. These connections and partnerships are what drive real change in Australian leadership. Here's to building boardrooms as diverse as our nation! 🙌 #ObservershipProgram #Brisbane #Leadership #BoardDiversity #Partnership
The Observership Program is an excellent initiative supporting the next generation of board directors, and bringing diversity, alternate views, and inclusion into our debate and decision making . We are fortunate to have Susan as an observer on our Bric Housing board this year, she is adding such value. I encourage all NFP boards to explore this opportunity to support the leaders of our future. #leadership Jane West #diversity #inspiration
