With leadership, learning and the big issues of housing and water all on the menu, Griffith's 2025 Australian Local Government Women's Association (ALGWA) Conference will serve up fresh ideas and solutions.
Themed Taste the Inspiration, Council will host the (sold out) conference from Thursday 4 to Saturday 6 September 2025. It brings together over 100 women in Local Government from across NSW to share ideas and fresh approaches to leadership.
Griffith's reputation for food, wine and culture has inspired this year's theme, which reflects both the richness of the region and the conference's focus on empowerment and innovation.
Griffith's Deputy Mayor, Councillor Anne Napoli looks forward to welcoming participants to the sold-out event.
"I'd like to extend a warm welcome to all those attending. I hope they enjoy our beautiful city," she said. "In today's evolving landscape, inspiration is vital for personal and professional growth. This conference offers the chance for both new and experienced Councillors to reset, gain fresh perspectives and strengthen their leadership skills."
Delegates will hear from expert speakers, including leadership specialist and MC Alicia McKay, who will provide insights into navigating change and leading with confidence. The program also features a hands-on workshop with local government expert Emma Broomfield, a first for ALGWA, along with essential panel discussions on the challenges and opportunities facing women in the sector.
As a highlight, delegates will take part in a study tour of one of Griffith's celebrated wineries, combining relationship-building with an appreciation of the City's unique character.
