We’re excited to announce…we’ve gone virtual!
In response to COVID-19, we have pivoted to a virtual delivery format for Williamson until at least 30 June 2020. We’ve adapted and redesigned program components to maintain the depth and richness of the development experience, as well as the high quality outcomes for our participants.
