Alumni The Cranlana Programme alumni consists of 2000+ leaders from business, government and community sectors. A number of events are held each year for them to maintain contact and further engage in discussions about ethics, values and leadership in Australia. If you have changed your details since participating in the Cranlana Programme, please email us with your new contact details, so we can keep you in touch with our Alumni events. Of particular note is the Alumni Speaker Series which address a range of contemporary issues and seek to present new and challenging ideas. In 2011 Cranlana hosted a series of talks by Australians of the Year on the question of whether or not Australia was a Good Society. The speakers brought their own interpretation of what constitutes a Good Society, and their insights and perspectives gave the audience much to consider. These popular talks were recorded by Radio National for broadcast later in 2011.
