This year 22 participants will undertake the Program and it is pleasing to see that we have an increase in the number of men signed up for this Program. Amongst the group we also have a number of participants in their late 20’s and early 30’s stepping up to complete our leadership development program. It is hoped in time these people will become the region’s future leaders. The AVCLP community of alumni, Board members staff and supporters wish the new participants, who are listed on the AVCLP website, all the best in their leadership journey. Read more.... Graduation The graduation evening for the 2012-2013 participants was a star-studded event. Two hundred people filled Wangaratta’s Gateway Hotel for an evening of celebration and catching up with friends old and new. Guests travelled from as far away as Melbourne and Ballarat for the evening and they mixed with regional leaders, the graduates their families and friends, and AVCLP Board members, staff and alumni. A highlight of the evening was a presentation by guest speaker Adam Elliot, the creator of the Academy award winning animated film, Harvie Krumpet. Adam’s warm and witty presentation left everyone with smiles on their faces. Congratulations to the graduates of the 2012-2013 Program. The Graduation evening proved a fitting tribute to all that the group has achieved over the past year. AVCLP representation at regional events AVCLP is seen as a conduit to the region’s leaders by many, and so we are often invited to attend regional leadership events. The Executive Officer and AVCLP Chair were recently invited to attend a meeting for the region’s leaders hosted by the Hume Regional Development Australia Committee. The State Government’s Regional Policy Advisory Committee visited Wodonga to gain information about the key economic issues that are impacting the region at present. This meeting provided us with real opportunity to pass on the knowledge that we hear from regional leaders on a weekly basis and to advocate for the continued support of leadership programs.
