What a night!
Our annual Friends of the Foundation event was held at Wesley Place Business Hub in Melbourne’s CBD on Thursday 2 October.
Hosted by Charter Hall, the after work gathering included a thought-provoking, honest panel discussion on “Leadership, Pitfalls & Purpose” exploring how leaders can stay connected to purpose in high-pressure roles and thread social impact into their business strategy to create meaningful change.
”“The Friends of the Foundation event was a wonderful opportunity for supporters of the Property Industry Foundation to connect with industry peers, gain valuable perspectives and reflect on how leadership can be a powerful catalyst for lasting social impact. Together, we can strengthen our industry’s collective role in creating a better future for vulnerable young Australians.”
