The north-western Riverina city of Griffith is set to welcome over 100 delegates as it hosts the Australian Local Government Women’s
Association (ALGWA) NSW Conference from Thursday, 1 May to Saturday, 3 May 2025.
The highly-anticipated event will bring together leaders, councillors, and professionals from across NSW, highlighting Griffith on the state’s map as a hub for leadership, innovation, and community engagement, Griffith City Council said in a statement.
As the peak body dedicated to empowering women in local government, ALGWA plays a crucial role in fostering dynamic leadership and ensuring women remain informed, connected, and inspired. The conference will feature key speakers and essential topics, sparking important discussions on regional issues and furthering the organisation’s commitment to supporting women’s participation in local democracy.
“The conference is expected to generate a significant economic impact of approximately $195,000 for Griffith. With delegates staying in local accommodation, dining at restaurants, shopping, and exploring the region, this event presents a valuable opportunity for local businesses to benefit from increased spending and exposure. Businesses will have the chance to showcase their branding and products to a broad audience of influential leaders,” the Council said.
