Community Leaders Forum
2024-12-10 17:00 - 20:00
COMMUNITY LEADERS FORUM | DECEMBER 2024
Multicultural Australia and QPASTT invite you to a Community Leaders Dinner and Forum (CLD).
Maintaining resilience and connection in challenging times
This year has been a remarkable year for cultural communities, marked by incredible achievements as well as significant challenges, both locally and globally.
As we approach the end of this year, we want to come together with community and faith leaders to acknowledge the impact of the work you have done with and for your communities.
We also want to recognise the burdens that leadership can carry and explore ways to strengthen our collaboration, nurture relationships and trust, and support one another through challenging times. Together, we hope to discuss how leaders sustain themselves and each other, and how services and decision-makers can better support and accompany leaders during both the good times and the difficult moments.
This is a free event and participation is by invitation only.
Please register your attendance by clicking the RSVP button above.
