ExperienceBank is an innovation in community leadership, which draws upon the knowledge, strengths and reputation of Leadership Victoria, including the Williamson Community Leadership Program, SkillsBank and Board Orientation Series. It aims to harness the leadership skills and experience of mature aged executives for community and individual benefit. It extends Leadership Victoria’s commitment to community capacity building.

ExperienceBank is a program for senior leaders, continuing in employment or recently retired, which overviews community issues, maps the nonprofit sector and community involvement options, explores experience transfer and facilitates an initial community placement.

ExperienceBank comprises an orientation program of seven sessions (weekend, week day and evening) spread over four months, a guided community placement and access to community involvement  information and opportunities (for twelve months) such as joining a nonprofit Board, mentoring and working with a team to give pro bono advice to a community organisation.

The two phases are integral to the unique nature of this community leadership initiative. As Graduates of the ExperienceBank program, they are acknowledged as Leadership Victoria Associates.

ExperienceBank participants share a deep desire to make a difference in significant and inspirational ways which utilise their professional skills and leadership experiences for community benefit.
