In 2008, the inaugural Working Communities International Congress was held as the first truly united meeting of its kind to explore social, educational and economic mechanisms that lead to healthy communities and improved workforce participation. The first Congress attracted speakers and delegates from North America, Britain, Europe, Australia, New Zealand and Africa. In March 2010, the second Working Communities International Congress will again host a wide cross-section of delegates including people working in social and economic policy, workforce and community development, as well as professionals, entrepreneurs and business leaders from across the globe.

Congress Partner: OECD LEED Programme
The OECD's LEED (Local Economic and Employment Development) Programme contributes to the creation of more and better quality jobs worldwide. To fulfil its mission, LEED carries out cross-country comparative projects tasked with identifying innovative policies responding to today's challenges. LEED serves a governing board of 35 countries and collaborates with several other countries in various parts of the world. To complement this international peer review process, LEED facilitates the sharing of experiences between practitioners. The OECD LEED Forum on Partnerships and Local Governance brings together 2,400 participants from more than 50 countries desiring to enhance the results of their actions. The Forum brings its pool of expertise to Melbourne to contribute to the success of Working Communities International Congress 2010. Australia has been at the forefront of employment reforms, and as a result, NESA CEO, Sally Sinclair, was invited to present at the 5th Annual Meeting of the OECD LEED Forum on Partnerships and Local Governance in Vienna, Austria in 2009. NESA is a partner of the LEED Programme. Sylvain Giguère, Head of the OECD's LEED Division, will speak at Working Communities International Congress 2010.
