Committee for Echuca Moama

Our C4EM journey began in July 2011 after a group of like-minded local spokes people started a working group as they wanted to help bring the younger generation through as leaders in the community. The working group's purpose was to understand the framework that C4EM would operate at and who should be sitting at the table. C4EM became a part or a larger family called Committees for Cities & Regions. This family is an influential network of independent, like-minded organisations each operating within their particular city or regional area to enhance their economic, social, cultural and environmental development. Building on the rising strength of Australia and New Zealand’s cities and regions, we work together to advance issues of significance around population growth, economic development and social cohesion. Through the individual membership profiles of the network partners, Committees for Cities & Regions is financially underpinned by almost 700 of the most significant corporate brands in Australasia. Individually each organisation brings leaders from business and industry sectors together with community and government organisations to identify and analyse local issues and work strategically to promote the development of their city or region as an exciting and dynamic place to live and work. By adopting a strategic, long term focus, our organisations maintain a non-partisan position, transcending short term political cycles and therefore enabling us to think and act locally, nationally and internationally as advocates for the sustainable, responsible and dynamic development of our cities and regions.
