Due to the COVID-19 situation, the Leadership Excellence Gala Awards Dinner scheduled for Friday 22 May 2020 will be postponed to a later date when it is safe for everyone to attend. We will provide you with a new date as soon as we can.

We understand this will inevitably be disappointing for many, Awards Finalists in particular. If you have any suggestions as to how we can recognise the fantastic projects that were shortlisted for this year’s Awards please send them to rhiannon@lgprofessionalssa.org.au.

For those already registered or who have pre-purchased registrations:

In the first instance, we will transfer all registrations to the new date, noting that should you or your registered attendees no longer be able to make it, substitutions are welcome up until four weeks prior.

We will keep in touch with you along the way, and if the dinner no longer suits, we can issue you with a PD Voucher with an expiration date of 30 June 2021 to use on alternate development opportunities with us.

For further information on how we are navigating through the COVID-19 pandemic, please refer to the letter from our President and CEO here.

We were really looking forward to delivering this event for you, but everyone’s health and safety as well as the integrity of our program experiences are more important.

Should you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact Rhiannon Grebenshikoff on 08 8291 7995.
