Watch: How is the SILA program transforming for-purpose leaders?
“SILA is the culmination of significant effort from a number of leaders, and supported by foundations I respect. The opportunity to engage with 23 of my peers over the course of a number of months was really beneficial. We always do a lot with a little in the for-purpose sector, and the challenges we face aren’t really so different. Building relationships can lighten the leadership load a lot.”
– Annabelle Daniel OAM, CEO, Women’s Community Shelters
