Forty Under Forty Awards: Launchpad for SA Leaders

0:00On this March 4th in Adelaide, here's what is making headlines. In daily's 40 under 40 awards, do more than just hand out trophies. They build lasting networks and open doors for young leaders in South Australia. Take Tim Chia, Chief Executive at Lutheran Homes Group. He nominated his colleague, Christian Rocky, the Chief Operating Officer because Rocky excels in age care and creating jobs. Chia knows the awards well as a past winner. He sees them as a launch pad for new connections and credibility. Roca was surprised by the nod but says it came at the right time in his career. Both men highlight how the program sparks reflection on their work's impact. In busy fields like community services, it's rare to pause and see the bigger picture. Rocky found it affirming and motivating. The real payoff comes from the alumni network. Events at places like Parliament House keep the momentum going. They've led to collaborations across industries, broadening views on South Australia's economy and social scene.
