About the Presenters:
LEANNE PEARMAN (CEO, WAiS) has been involved in the lives of people with disability and their families for 30 years, building strong and lasting 
relationships along the way.  Leanne’s extensive strategic and operational experience working in both government and non-government organisations 
has given her an unusually broad base of experience in the Human Services sector, particularly in individual service design and organisational 
leadership.  She has been supportive in the development and implementation of individualised services within organisations and with individuals 
and families in the community.

SU-HSIEN LEE has a broad grounding in disability issues with extensive experience in  policy and advocacy in the disability sector having worked

provider for a couple years supporting them to move towards being person-centred in practice.  In another life, she worked as a solicitor, has 
completed a Graduate Diploma in Human Rights Practice and also had the opportunity to undertake secondments to the Department of Premier & Cabinet’s 
Economic Audit Implementation team and the Department of Finance to work on contracting reforms within the community sector.  Su’s prior legal
