Value
Overview
Kerry engages stakeholders who bridge community, government and business to identify their role in enabling forward motion on complex community problems and emerging opportunities.
Change is not always easy for communities. Kerry’s extensive community and economic development experiences have taught her that real and sustainable change is only ever realised when the community can own, and deliver their response to change. The success of this is then enhanced through robust facilitation, careful planning and support.
Kerry works at each end of the community change process giving value to a range of stakeholders who benefit both directly and indirectly through the delivery of Kerry’s services.

I have known Kerry since she took on the role as CEO of Regional Development Australia on the Mid North Coast in 2016. What has impressed me about Kerry is her dedication and commitment to the role in what have been some very tough times. Kerry has always shown great leadership and creative problem-solving approaches. Kerry has shown great leadership and has inspired those around her and dedication to see things through.
Heather Cavanagh
Kerry Grace is a passionate, effective advocate for economic development and sustainability in regional Australia. She utilises outstanding leadership and strong negotiating skills to achieve optimum outcomes, even where (at an early stage) this may simply be achieving a more widespread awareness and understanding of the issues and, of course, the associated opportunities!
