In mid-May a range of CFA leaders met at Creswick for the two day Core Leadership Conference including the CFA Senior Leadership Team (SLT) - CEO, Chief Officer, Executive Directors, DCO's, Regional Directors, Executive Managers - and their direct reports, DPC Chairs and members of the VFBV State Executive.

The Conference provided a great opportunity to get a sense of where CFA sits within the current economic climate, discuss the importance of leadership in ensuring our future and get clarity around the CEO and Chief Officer's mission and direction.
