The Initiatives
In addition to the Leadership Program, our other initiatives include:
• Piloting a social-diversity based leadership development model
• Leaders’ Network
• Leadership Roundtables
• Partnerships with mainstream community leadership programs
• Leadership Mentoring
• Leadership Masterclasses

Principles and Values
• Equity in Participation: All disability types, geographic locations, and gender balance are promoted
• Affirmative Action: Leadership Plus will, whenever possible, engage people with disability as staff, trainers, presenters and spokespersons
• Broad Participation as Citizens: People with disabilities should operate as leaders across all sectors of society including business, the Public Service, Government, local communities and the Disability Sector
• Promotion of Diversity in Leadership: We will promote the diversity, worth and value of people with disabilities in leadership across the business, community, cultural and Government sectors
• Innovation: We will keep people with disabilities and the leadership sectors at the forefront of contemporary leadership thinking. We will not duplicate or reinvent initiatives that are already functioning well
• Partnerships: We will work with all sectors of society and wherever possible, in partnership with them, using a social enterprise model.

The Program extends over 12 months, commencing with a three-day retreat followed by eight two-day seminars. It delivers and provides an accredited set of leadership competencies for approximately 30 participants. Our major delivery partner in the Leadership Program 2009 is RMIT with the financial support from a range of other organisations including ANZ Trustees and Tattersals. The seminars and retreat are sponsored by a range of businesses, Government Departments and Statutory Authorities. In addition organizations and sectors sponsor individuals with the expectation they will benefit through the enhanced leadership capabilities of those they support.
