MURRA is 10 years old! Amazing to think that a humble idea grown in the corridors of Melbourne Business School has now graduated over 200 amazing Indigenous changemakers. The impact that this group has had upon their communities and the wider Australian economy has gone beyond our wildest dreams. Your role as a champion and supporter of MURRA has been key to this movement.
We are holding a reunion to celebrate this milestone. The reunion will include thought leadership sessions and workshops for MURRA Alumni during the day with Dilin Duwa global members who are leading academics in the area of Indigenous economic empowerment. This will be an opportunity for MURRAAlumni to dream and create a vision for the Indigenous business sector which will feed into our strategy for the next 10 years.
