Young professionals network continues to grow

MORE than 70 young professionals have joined the Northern Rivers Young Professionals Network since its launch in December, with the group continuing to expand its professional development program across the region.

The network’s latest event at Ballina RSL Club focused on leadership, career development and long-term success, bringing together young professionals from a range of industries.

Participants heard from leadership expert Tim Jack Adams and local business leaders, while also taking part in workshops and discussions on the future of the region.

The network was established through the Business NSW Regional Leaders program.

Business NSW regional director Jane Laverty said the initiative aimed to help emerging leaders build skills, connections and confidence while developing their careers in the Northern Rivers.

“This initiative is about building a strong pipeline of future leaders who see the Northern Rivers as a place where they can thrive, make an impact and be part of shaping what comes next for our region,” she said.

Further events are planned throughout the year.
