The Leadership Program
for ClubsNSW CEOs
Build the confidence and capability to lead your whole club
When you are responsible for everything from people and performance to budgets, the board and member expectations, leadership development needs to be relevant and practical. The Leadership Program brings CEOs of smaller clubs together to strengthen the skills, judgement and confidence needed to lead effectively.
WHO IT IS FOR
Designed for the demands of smaller clubs
The program is designed for club CEOs who carry broad organisational responsibility, often with limited executive or specialist support. It is an opportunity to build core leadership capability while learning alongside peers who understand the demands of serving a club and its community.
FORMAT

Join a dedicated cohort of up to 15 club CEOs for 12 live, facilitated virtual sessions, each lasting two hours. Experienced leadership facilitators and specialist contributors bring relevant perspectives and tools to the discussion. Between sessions, participants apply their learning to current challenges inside their clubs.
Format: 12 × two-hour live virtual sessions over 12 months
