We are delighted to welcome Steve Allen, Chair of Tatua, as our guest speaker. Steve will share stories and insights on Purpose-Driven Leadership, exploring why enduring, successful organisations need a succession of passionate and focused leaders who are motivated by service—to people, communities, and countries.
