Acknowledge

Many Indigenous businesses are inherently social and community-driven. This approach to business and community development is not new. We acknowledge the intersection of Indigenous business and social enterprise and seek to listen and learn with hands outstretched.

 
 

Connect

As a network, we exist to connect passionate for-purpose leaders across the region. We run online events, share resources, hold support circles and keep you up to date on the best opportunities across the sector.

Funding the revolution
Funding the revolution

At SESNA 2021 we heard from Gulkula Mining and Mayi Harvests as they showed us how there is so much opportunity in the agricultural and mining industries – and beyond – to not only include Indigenous voices but have those voices driving the industries and to uphold Indigenous values, ensuring the longevity of the environment, all while pouring benefits back into their communities.

What happens when remote leaders can’t find their peers?
What happens when remote leaders can’t find their peers?

There are so many factors that brought me here in my personal journey into leadership in the social sector. What stands out to me as having the most impact on my career so far is my peers. If it weren’t for the co-founders I discovered early on, I wouldn’t have had the courage to keep going. How can we perform at our best when we’ve got no one to share the load with?
