OMC Group has been a long-standing partner of the Committee for Geelong’s flagship Leaders for Geelong program, contributing to the development of emerging and established leaders across the region.

Since 2013, Damien O’Malley has served as a facilitator and contributor, delivering sessions focused on leadership mindset, constructive behaviours, culture, collaboration, and community impact.

The Committee for Geelong is an independent, member-based organisation committed to driving a sustainable, prosperous, and inclusive future for the Geelong region. Through strategic advocacy, thought leadership, and long-term visioning, it brings business, government, and community together to shape Geelong’s growth and regional influence.

Leaders for Geelong is a premier leadership development program that equips participants with the insight, networks, and capability to positively influence the region’s social, economic, and civic future. Over an intensive multi-month experience, emerging leaders explore regional challenges and opportunities, engage with influential stakeholders, and build the skills needed to lead in complex and community-focused environments.

OMC Group’s involvement supports the program’s mission of strengthening Geelong’s leadership pipeline—helping participants develop the mindset, behaviours, and confidence required to make a meaningful contribution to the region.
