The State of Play
How NFPs Can Stay
Ahead of the Game
Join CBB the not4profit people as we
bring experts together to share their
views on the ‘state of play’ in
Queensland’s Not for Profit sector, and
most importantly, what Not for Profits can
do to stay ahead of the game in a sector
that is in the midst of extensive change.
WHAT IS COMMUNITY EXECNET?
We are providing CEOs, Executives and NFP
Board Members with the opportunity to come
together to discuss a relevant topic, hear from
engaging speakers and share knowledge.
WHO IS SPEAKING?
Kasy Chambers, Executive Director,
Anglicare will share an environmental scan
of the national social, political and
community sector as we strive to understand
our new federal world one week out from the
Abbot Government’s first Federal
budget. Crystal ball gazing 101.
Dr Joanne Redburn, NFP Lawyers, will
discuss the Government’s red tape repeal what that means for the ACNC and what are
the implications for Not for Profits. What has
changed and what should you do?
WHO SHOULD ATTEND?

for Profit organisations.
We encourage you to bring a number of
representatives from your Management Team
and Board.
Dina Jak, Forresters Community Finance,

organisations leverage their assets in a way
that is strategic and directly contributes to
better outcomes and organisational
