Leadership Victoria identified a critical need for a community conversation about the future and direction of leadership in our community. We are hosting a forum that will address both the interdependence and diversity found in leadership today throughout Greater Victoria.

• Are you tired of working in silos?
  
• Are you concerned about the future of leadership in our community?
  
• Do you think it’s time for a change in the kind of leadership we are familiar with?
  Do you understand community leadership and the relationship to traditional
  
• leadership models?

The objectives of the Symposium are to:

• engage Victoria in a new conversation about leadership addressing the issues, challenges and potential solutions
• celebrate the diverse quality of leadership in Victoria and build on leadership relationships at all levels
• leverage the power of leadership in our community to enhance the quality of life
• infuse enthusiasm for the future of leadership throughout the community
• support leadership development and collaboration in Victoria

If you think community leadership is about non-profit management, perhaps this is not the event for you. If, however, you are interested in leadership, aspire to lead or are already leading, and want to learn more about building community through better leadership – this event is one you will not want to miss!

Join us and connect in a meaningful dialogue around
… questions that matter,
…  ideas that will inspire,
… and outcomes that will call you to action.
