An inaugural Collaborative Leadership Program was held from 30th May to 3rd June 2022 and was a big success. It was an ambitious attempt to nurture a regional leadership class as we continue the daunting task of city-shaping the West. Our 35-strong cohort experienced deep immersion in institutions and local communities and were provided unique and intimate exposure to eminent leaders.
It delivered training in collaborative culture, thought leadership, regional advocacy and community engagement, and generated a stellar professional network of graduates, which will carry through to an alumni program in future years.

We acknowledge and honour Aboriginal People who have cared for Country in Greater Western Sydney for at least 60,000 years and acknowledge the Traditional Owners of the land on which we gather today.
The Western Sydney Leadership Dialogue thanks these Traditional Owners and we pay our respects to their Ancestors and Elders – past, present and emerging.
We also acknowledge the vital role played by our Local Aboriginal Land Councils, the modern custodians for all First Nations people who currently live in our region, home to one of the largest urban Aboriginal populations in Australia.
Further, the Dialogue will support the YES campaign in the Voice to Parliament referendum. This recognises Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as the First Peoples of Australia and reflects our pride that Greater Western Sydney is home to one of the largest urban Indigenous populations in this country.
