“I found the workshop to be both challenging, highly engaging and valuable to better understand and execute my role.”
“It was the best board leadership activity/program I have ever attended. In part, it was the structure and the leaders of the program. Its great strength was the participation of interesting, insightful and wise people from the Catchment Management Authorities and Water Corporations.”
Thank you!”
