SUMMARY:Grown in WA: Backing the Regions to lead with Purpose
DESCRIPTION:WA’s regions are full of innovation and enterprise but also facing real social challenges too. This is an invite-only working lunch roundtable bringing together leaders from across regional WA to talk about what’s already working\, and what’s still needed.\nWe’ll explore how to leverage what’s already there\, grow value in place\, and back social entrepreneurship as part of the answer. That means learning from each other across regions\, building the workforce and industries of the future\, and keeping profit and opportunity reinvested in WA rather than flowing out. \nThe WA Social Enterprise Council (WASEC) exists to back social enterprise as a genuine solution for WA\, and the regions are central to that. Numbers are deliberately limited to keep the conversation sharp and the outcomes real. This is the start of a plan for regional investment\, and everyone at the table will help shape it. \nPriority will be given to WASEC members and guests travelling to Perth for the Awards event that night. \nPlaces are limited\, so please RSVP to register. We will send more details about the agenda once we know numbers.
