What is LDC?
The Leadership and Development Conference (LDC) run by the New Zealand Chinese Association (NZCA) is a 7 day live-in conference where you’ll realise your leadership potential with a range of activities and guest speakers from all around New Zealand.
Designed for young adults age 18 - 35, you’ll have a transformative leadership experience where you can connect with your ‘inner compass’, deepen your cultural grounding and discover your personal direction to help you step forward with confidence and lead authentically.
Our aim is to cultivate a generation of Chinese New Zealand leaders who are proud of their identity, are connected to their community and take courage in shaping the future.
