LEAD Loddon Murray leadership program participants spent a chilly Saturday walking the streets of Inglewood mapping the town as part of their 2025 course.
Bridgewater’s James Stewart has been sponsored by Inglewood and Districts Community Bank and he hosted three other participants for the day.
Wayne Dinning (Romsey), Dan Walker (Lockington) and Samantha Moore (Woodend) joined James for the town mapping exercise designed to help course members learn more about their town and area. James works with Parks Victoria at its Inglewood depot.
Pod members are visiting each other’s towns with Dan next to play host. This week the four will be with other course members for the first retreat of the year in Echuca where the topic is leadership of self.
Further retreats will be held in Swan Hill (leadership of others - project planning), Maryborough (governance and advocacy), Lancefield and Romsey (leadership of change) and a fourth in Bridgewater and Inglewood in November (leading for impact).
James is one of three Loddon residents in this year’s program. Others are Alex Mountjoy (Bears Lagoon) sponsored by the Loddon Shire and Katie Drummond-Gillett (Inglewood) sponsored by North Central Catchment Management Authority.
