Indigenous Business, Corporations and
Entrepreneurship:
New Models, Stronger Communities
The 2011 Centre for Social Impact (UWA) Conference is on the
theme Indigenous Business, Corporations and Entrepreneurship - New Models,
Stronger Communities. This important conference will shape opinion and
understanding, and share best practice and research on the role of Indigenous
business and Indigenous corporations in expanding economic opportunities for
Indigenous people and creating positive social and economic impact for
Indigenous communities.
Keynote speakers include Wayne Bergmann, CEO, Kimberley Regional Economic Development Corporation, Natalie Walker, CEO, Australian Indigenous Minority Supplier Council, Kevin McLeish, Managing Director, Argyle Diamonds and Ian Trust, Director, Indigenous Business Foundation.
