About the Leaders Circle

The Leaders Circle is being shaped as a network for Leaders working with the CED Program – a space to:

• Share knowledge and lived experience
• Learn from one another’s economic development journeys
• Strengthen connections across Communities
• Focus on economic participation on your terms, in ways that reflect your priorities and strengths

This Gathering is the first opportunity to bring this network together in person.

Shaped by Leaders: 2025 Co-Design Workshops

In 2025, we worked alongside 21 Community Leaders in co-design workshops held in Cairns, Adelaide and Broome.

Leaders shared their aspirations for how the Circle should operate, how Communities can connect meaningfully, and how gatherings like this can support practical economic outcomes.

This March Gathering draws directly from those conversations.

We hope to see you soon. If you have any questions, please contact us: [email protected]
