When Advocates Become Leaders: How Stepping Up Changes the Way We Speak Out

Date: Wednesday, 3 July 2025

Time: 7:30PM AEST

Location: Zoom (link provided upon registration)

What changes when we move from advocating from the outside to leading from within? How does taking on leadership shift the way we challenge systems, influence change, and back ourselves?

Join United Blind Leaders for an honest and energising conversation about what it means to be both advocate and leader—and why we need more blind and vision-impaired people in positions of power to shape the future of our communities and the organisations that serve us.

We’ll explore:

• How leadership deepens and sharpens our advocacy

• The personal and political impact of being a decision-maker

• Lessons from blind leaders who’ve stepped up—and spoken out

• Why blind leadership is essential, not optional

This is a conversation for all UBL supporters—whether you see yourself as a leader now, or you're just beginning to imagine that possibility.
