Nominate For National Leadership Forum 2024
Nominations are now open for the National Leadership Forum, which will be held in Canberra from the 22nd-25th August 2024. It is our pleasure to invite you to nominate young people who you believe to have leadership potential.
The National Leadership Forum is one of our nation’s preeminent leadership development initiatives. Since 1997 the Forum has sought to inspire and equip young adults to use their talents and energies to serve others. As Hosts of this initiative, we have been deeply encouraged by the positive influence the Forum is having on Australia’s future leaders.
The focus of the Forum is not political: rather it seeks to cultivate a more inspired leadership ethic in our young people, regardless of the field they choose to enter. We are looking for young adults aged between 18 and 26 who exhibit leadership potential in their field of endeavour – be it university, workplace or the broader community. Over the course of our four days together we consider the importance of our own values and personal beliefs as foundations for effective leadership. We seek to draw attendees from a wide spectrum of faith and cultural backgrounds as we find this diversity greatly enriches the conversation and our time together.
The National Leadership Forum is privately funded and receives no financial assistance from State or Federal governments. As such, we ask Nominators to consider sponsoring those whom they nominate. Payment can be made upon completion of this form by Credit Card or by invoice upon delegate’s acceptance to the Forum.
