Building the capacity of
local communities
to drive change.

Networks

LEAD Loddon Murray convenes events and facilitates communication across our networks for the region: The LMCLP Graduate Network, Leading Excellence Maryborough Graduate network and graduates of other programs.

There are opportunities for the LMCLP Graduate Network to come together each year, particularly the LMCLP Program Launch and Graduation, to reconnect, inspire and share experiences with other regional leaders. Our Graduates are connected via social media and a newsletter which highlights opportunities for skilled volunteers. LEAD Loddon Murray estimates our 600+ Graduates actively serving local communities contribute more than $20million per annum in volunteer labour to the region.

Graduate stories

We love to share stories about our graduates with you, and will continually be adding to the collection.
