Australian Local Government Women Association Victorian Branch State Conference on this week

This is the first time the annual conference is being held in the region, which Mayor, Cr Kim O’Keeffe said was an exciting opportunity for Greater Shepparton.

“The ALGWA Vic Conference is a great way for women in local government to expand their networks and knowledge, and partake in professional development,” she said.

“The conference begins on Sunday evening with sunset drinks at the Shepparton Art Museum (SAM) where guests will have the opportunity to network. On Monday, attendees will hear from a range of informative and inspiring speakers across various fields.

“The conference will conclude with a gala dinner on Monday night at Riverlinks Eastbank, where Dr Tasneem Chopra OAM will deliver a keynote address.”

This year’s conference theme is Emerging Creatively. At a time when the world continues to face challenges, opportunities exist to explore new ideas, take risks and see successful and influential leaders emerge creatively in the community.

“We are looking forward to hosting the 2022 conference and are excited to host a range of visitors to the region,” Cr O’Keeffe said.

“We hope everyone enjoys their stay in Greater Shepparton and gets to experience the many great offerings which make our region thrive.”
