Victorian LGBTIQ Leadership Program
The Victorian LGBTIQ Leadership Program 2020 is a leadership development program that grows and develops participant’s leadership skills in a safe and supported environment. Participants will explore how to develop and apply leadership in LGBTIQ community organisations to achieve better outcomes and drive change in the community.
The Victorian LGBTIQ Leadership Program 2020 is for Victorians (18 years +) who are currently in leadership roles (both within an LGBTIQ Organisation or any other organisation) and are looking to enhance their leadership capabilities to make a direct and positive contribution across LGBTIQ communities.
The Victorian LGBTIQ Leadership Program 2020 will gather a diverse range of LGBTIQ people, who will support, challenge and grow together, building networks and connections that will continue beyond the program. Participants will be empowered through an increased confidence, understanding of their strengths and leadership abilities, LGBTIQ history and achievements, and the experiences of other LGBTIQ leaders.
The Victorian Leadership Program 2020 is being delivered by Leadership Victoria, funded through the Victorian Government’s LGBTIQ Community Grants Program.
