Impact+ Webinars

About the Impact+ Webinars

The Impact+ webinars are an extension of the discussions initiated at our recent Impact 2023 conference, driven by the valuable feedback received through our post-conference survey. These sessions are thoughtfully curated for professionals in the community disability services sector. They aim to empower participants with vital knowledge and insights to excel in their current roles, while also providing valuable guidance for those with aspirations to take on leadership positions.
