Win free registration for leadership conference

Australian Ageing Agenda has two full conference registrations to give away to senior managers wanting to attend the 7th Australasian Better Boards Conference in Melbourne this July.

 

Above: Nina Terrey, one of the keynote speakers at the Better Boards Conference 2013

To be in the running to win one of two free conference registrations, the Better Boards Conference team would like to hear your favourite leadership quote or piece of leadership advice, posted on the Better Boards Facebook page or via twitter linking to @betterboards and including the #BBC2013 hash tag.  See details below.

Strong leadership and good governance will be critical to the success – and even the survival – of aged and community services organisations as they negotiate a new era of structural reforms and a rapidly evolving consumer context.

That’s one of the reasons Australian Ageing Agenda is pleased to be partnering with the Better Boards Conference 2013.  With our strong interest in supporting innovation and best practice in the aged services sector, we want to help encourage board members, CEOs and senior executives of non-profit organisations, to understand and address governance and leadership challenges. 

We got involved and attended our first Better Boards Conference only in 2012, and for us it was an eye-opener. The combination of first hand exposure to Australian and international leadership experts and a focus on knowledge sharing and peer support was clearly a very positive form of professional development for the nearly 600-strong delegates, most of whom were board members or CEO’s of non-profit organisations.

Once again, this year we have two free registrations to give away to the main conference at the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre on Saturday 6 and Sunday 7 July, valued at $825 for a single delegate.
