Regional Leadership Meeting – Ethnic Council of Shepparton and District

Last week, ECCV and Ballarat Regional Multicultural Council co-hosted a gathering of Victoria’s regional Ethnic Communities’ Councils (ECCs). The meeting of CEOs and Board Chairs from ECCS in Albury-Wodonga, Shepparton, Geelong, Gippsland, Sunraysia Mallee and Loddon Campaspe aimed to build greater collaboration and coordination of state-wide responses to the issues impacting Victoria’s regional migrant and refugee communities.

	The Ethnic Council of Shepparton and District is a peak body whose mission is to promote and represent the social, cultural and economic well-being of ethnic communities in the Goulburn Valley Region through the provision of quality and innovative settlement, refugee support, community development, and information and advocacy services.
