VIC Association Meeting and Networking Drinks
Join us for our exclusive VIC Association Meeting and Networking Drinks, in partnership with Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre.
When strong leadership meets vision and persistence, remarkable change is possible. Since 2021, ANZACATA has grown from 1,200 to over 2,000 members - an impressive achievement in a sector where growth had previously stalled. Under Kate’s leadership, the Association has introduced CPD, strengthened its governance, built robust partnerships with universities, and gained respect across the profession.
ANZACATA is now in a new era of stability and credibility and with nearly everything in place - from constitution to policy frameworks - the organisation is well positioned for even greater impact, including international recognition and future grant opportunities.
This session will explore how effective leadership can transform not just an organisation, but an entire profession, followed by networking drinks to keep the conversation going and give you the chance to connect with association leaders.
The event will be chaired by Tony Gleeson, Associations Advisor, Associations Forum.
Registration: Free and exclusive to Associations Forum members and Not-for-profit organisations.
