2010 LMCLP Launch Evening
Friday 12 February 2010 in Kerang
Community
Leadership Journey begins for 23 north central Victorians
The 2010
Loddon Murray Community Leadership Program (LMCLP) was formally launched
at Kerang last Friday evening, with a special celebration dinner to
announce the 23 participants in the 2010 program.
Guest
speaker for the evening was the highly entertaining founder of the
Beechworth Bakery and motivational speaker Tom O’Toole, who shared with
the audience his insights into business and leadership over the last 25
years: “Culture is caught, not taught”.
Mr O’Toole
said that “Leaders celebrate” and on this occasion he helped future
leaders celebrate the start of a journey which will involve 24 program
days across central and north-west Victoria, as well as trips to Melbourne
and Canberra exploring diverse themes including water, health, education,
and cultural diversity.

from Rochester and Melinda Mann from Echuca (Campaspe Shire); Kristen Dyer
from Moama (Murray Shire); Michael Fitzgibbon and Ben Pearce from
