Leadership WA

Recently, our Chair Angie Paskevicius, Board Member Christina Matthews and CEO Candy Choo met with our Vice Patron, Premier Roger Cook, to discuss leadership, community impact and what’s ahead for Leadership WA ✨.

It was an opportunity to reflect on more than two decades of impact, including the significant contribution our Alumni continue to make in shaping a better WA and their enduring connection to Leadership WA.

The discussion also touched on the experiences shaping our Programs today, our Community Impact Projects, the generosity of our diverse speakers and an exciting initiative currently in development.

We took the opportunity to thank the Premier and his Government for renewing LeadAbility funding through to 2029. This long-standing partnership with the Department of Communities is one we hold in high regard, given the meaningful outcomes it delivers for people with disability across WA.

As our Vice Patron, the Premier’s ongoing support and clear commitment to strengthening leadership capability across the state is both valued and appreciated.
