The Centre for Social Impact is delighted to introduce the 24 exceptional CEOs from across Victoria and Tasmania who have been selected to participate in SILA Cohort 6.
Over the next 10 months, these for-purpose CEOs will undertake our world-class leadership program designed to transform how they lead and deepen the impact they create.

The cohort represents the second intake from Victoria and Tasmania, further expanding SILA’s national network of purpose-driven leaders. Over ten years, SILA will support 240 CEOs, as well as their 240 step-up leaders, and over 350 board directors, investing in the leadership needed to drive lasting, meaningful change.
“I’m beyond excited to join this incredible cohort. SILA is a ‘once in a lifetime’ opportunity that affords the space, time and networks for sector leaders to reflect deeply on our craft and how to lead change together. The ripple effects will be long-lasting – for us as leaders, for those leading around us, and I hope ultimately for the people and communities at the heart of our collective work,”
– Juanita Pope, CEO, Victorian Council of Social Services.
