Regional Leaders Program

A network of forward-thinking leaders from across Regional NSW, all working together for nearly 200 years to elevate the voice of business.

Who are our regional leaders?

Passionate and highly engaged individuals who represent various industries across Regional NSW. They guide the economic vision of our region, advocate for solutions to key challenges, and ensure that businesses can access the resources and support they need to grow.

Regional Leaders aren’t just participants - they’re changemakers, passionate about shaping the future and driving outcomes that matter. The program has already achieved remarkable results, helping businesses in areas like transport solutions, precinct development, and sustainable economic growth.

Our success lies in unity - We create a powerful collective voice, shaping policies that make a difference. Through our one-of-a-kind advocacy platform, we amplify the regional business community’s voice like never before.
