Presenting Leadership Victoria’s new Inclusion Cup

We are proud to announce the 2025 Williamson Community Leadership Program cohort! Over the next year, these 46 leaders will engage in professional and personal growth, explore their own and others' perceptions and experiences of leadership, and tackle the key issues facing our society today.
Through deep and immersive learning experiences, collaboration and connection, they will expand the way they see the world and take the way they exercise leadership to a new level. We look forward to supporting and witnessing their journeys as they develop their leadership capabilities and work towards leaving a lasting impact on the Victorian community and beyond.
