REGIONAL LEADERS
STRENGTHENING THE VOICE OF BUSINESS
THE MOVEMENT
Supporting businesses in NSW for over 195 years to maximise their potential.
We have a track record for developing and advocating evidenced based policy solutions to improve regional economic conditions for businesses to thrive.
Our unparalleled access to business means we are at the forefront of changing needs and priorities, enabling us to bring these needs to Government early and provide them with the confidence to assert action.
Our success comes from standing shoulder to shoulder, as a movement, to unite and be heard in a unique policy and advocacy platform.
The Regional Leaders program brings together a network of leaders in Regional NSW to strengthen the voice of business.
ELEVATION & INFLUENCE
Regional leaders are highly engaged individuals representing business and industry to drive the economic vision of regional NSW and advocate on issues hampering growth.
The program delivers a crafted thought leadership event series, special VIP events with senior Government and corporate leaders and will also invest in the next generation of business talent in Regional NSW through a Future Leaders program.
The Regional Leaders program is all about connecting decision makers who are passionate about driving outcomes and influencing change.
This program has achieved demonstrable results in other areas for business enabling them to operate in activated and economically sustainable modern cities including transport solutions, precincts and economic development.
There has never been a better time for Regional NSW businesses to unite and be heard, taking their collective priorities to the next level.
