We provide organisations, governments and community groups access to a rich diversity of thought-leadership, knowledge and opinions, for the benefit of all Australians.
By connecting our partners with our network of respected rural leaders we facilitate diverse
connections, innovative partnership opportunities and access to invaluable perspectives that enrich decision-making processes, drive collaborative
initiatives, and promote sustainable development across sectors.
We are the 'what next?' for your leadership programs alumni, a pool of speaker talent for your next event and the place to secure your board or advisory panel member or Chair.
By facilitating access to a network of respected peers and strategic opportunities for collaboration
and growth, TCT empowers leaders to harness their unique perspectives and expertise.
Through participation in TCT, leaders gain connections, development and support to support them to drive positive change and advocate effectively for their communities and regions.
We are your access to continued professional development, the connection to your next speaking opportunity and a pipeline of board and advisory panel roles.
Why The Connection Table?
Vast amounts of resources are being invested into the development of future leaders in rural Australia, yet we are not seeing an adequate conversion of leadership development into representation at decision making tables. This is demonstrated across the country in industry, community and government. In addition, there is a lack of collective visibility and promotion of the alumni of leadership programs. There is no clear central location for those looking to access leadership talent in rural Australia.
Established by Julia Spicer and Jo Palmer, rural advocates with sophisticated networks across industry, government and community, The Connection Table embodies their passion for the development and prosperity of the regions. This network provides the 'what next?' in rural Australian's leadership journey.
We acknowledge the traditional owners of the land upon which our team work remotely from their homes or chosen office space.
We respect elders past, present and emerging and acknowledge that sovereignty was never ceded.
