Thank you to everyone who joined us at Tweed River House for an Executive Lunch on Friday 29 May. 

It was a pleasure to bring together such an engaged and considered group of leaders for an afternoon of meaningful conversation and connection at the beautiful Tweed River House. 

The food was a real highlight, and we hope you enjoyed both the setting and the opportunity to step away from the day-to-day.  We’re already looking forward to bringing this group together again soon.

Thank you to everyone who joined us at Lennox Heads Hotel on Thursday 23 April  for our Northern Rivers Executive Network 'Learnings in Leadership' event.

A special thank you to Dean Carroll and Jane Thomson OAM for sharing their leadership stories so openly. Hearing how different leaders navigate challenges, make decisions and continue to grow sparked a really engaging conversation. We are very grateful for the time and perspective they brought to the discussion.

Thanks also to everyone who came along and contributed to such a great night.

Our first Northern Rivers Executive Networking Event of the year was held at Byron Bay Golf Club on Thursday 12 February 2026, bringing together local leaders for a considered and engaging morning of connection and learning.

We were pleased to welcome Angela Davies, Founder of Mind Your Grit, as our guest speaker. Angela led an insightful session focused on building sustainable performance, supporting wellbeing, and strengthening leadership capability. The discussion encouraged participants to reflect on how they lead, manage energy and support themselves and others in increasingly complex environments.

Thank you to everyone who joined us and contributed to the open conversations, shared insights, and meaningful connections throughout the morning. Events like these continue to highlight the value of coming together as a regional leadership community.

Thank you to everyone who joined us for the Northern Rivers Executive Network Christmas event on Wednesday, 10 December at Cape Byron Distillery.

As 2025 winds down, we’ve been reflecting on what made this year so special: the conversations, collaborations, and connections that have strengthened our Northern Rivers community. It was wonderful to connect with you all and celebrate the year as it comes to a close.

Wishing you all a joyful holiday season and an inspiring start to 2026. We look forward to creating even more opportunities to connect in the year ahead!

What an incredible afternoon at the beautiful Tweed River House for our 6th Northern Rivers Executive Network event of the year!

The venue was simply stunning, the service impeccable, and the food divine, a huge thank you to Gregory and Phillip for hosting us so beautifully.

We're so proud of what we’ve built with Northern Rivers Executive Network. Seeing 24 of our region’s executives and business owners come together, sharing ideas, sparking conversations, and building genuine connections, reminds us exactly why we started this group. It’s about community, collaboration, and celebrating the incredible business talent we have right here in the Northern Rivers!

A big thank you to everyone who attended the Northern Rivers Executive Network’s Leading with Kindness: Ethical Decision Making in Business event on Wednesday 10 September. It was wonderful to see so many business leaders from across the Northern Rivers come together for what was an incredibly rewarding experience. The openness, honesty, and depth of conversation in the room were truly inspiring and led to some powerful discussions around what ethical decision-making looks like in practice.  

A special thank you to Dr David Cooke for facilitating the session and guiding us through  important conversations.
