All four took part in the National Young Leaders Day at the Brisbane Convention Centre with financial support from the Bellingen Chamber. And to help move us forward in the business world, Andrew Sommerville of HumanHand HR Help will present ‘Planning for Success’.

Our four young leaders will give us their perspective of what they gained from the trip, the dynamic speakers and the interaction they had with so many other young people from diverse areas and backgrounds.

Forty two students from across the Bellingen Dorrigo Learning Community (BDLC) attended the conference, run by the Halogen Foundation, where they heard diverse speakers talk on the qualities of leadership.
