The Signature Leadership Program is for senior professionals from the corporate, government, small business and not-for-profit sectors looking to expand and enhance their capacity to be influential leaders in their organisations and the broader community.

The Governor presented the 35 graduates with their certificate in a ceremony attended by their mentors and loved ones.

As leaders I believe you have a duty to look and go beyond personal recognition and achievement. You have been selected and acknowledged as leaders – go ahead and lead.
