🎉 Happy Lunar New Year from Clear Horizon! 🐉
As we step into the Year of the 🐉 Wood Dragon 🐉, we're excited for what lies ahead. This year symbolises growth, innovation, and resilience —qualities that resonate with us.
🙆 This year, aligned with the Wood Dragon's mighty qualities, we will embrace innovation, growth, and collaboration. We aim to bring fresh, dynamic approaches to our work and to build strong, supportive networks within our community.
🙅 We will avoid stagnation and isolation. The Wood Dragon moves forward, and so will we by staying agile, open to new ideas, and sharing our knowledge and working together.
So, here’s to a year of prosperity, wisdom, and community! 🌟
📣 We've merged our accounts!
To give our community a handy, single point to reach us for all their queries (and to give our small marketing team a breather from having to keep an arsenal of social media accounts running), we’re merging our social media accounts into one Clear Horizon account per platform. That means here on Facebook you can continue to find us here (at Clear Horizon). We have sunset our Clear Horizon Academy page, but rest assured we will continue to share about our upcoming courses, free learning resources, and other Academy updates here, as well as Clear Horizon news and opportunities.
If you have questions or queries about the merge, upcoming courses, or about what you should have for dinner, never hesitate to shoot us a message. Thank you for being part of our community!

![Reflections on 26 January - Clear Horizon Consulting](https://img3.findglocal.com/889/965/403630668899657.jpg)
Our office remains open tomorrow, 26 January.
At Clear Horizon, in solidarity with our First Nations people, we do not adhere to 26 January as a day of celebration. We are committed to reconciliation, truth-telling, and collaboration with Aboriginal communities for guidance and insight, and this choice aligns with our commitment. This has been our choice since 2017, when it was decided by a majority vote. All our staff are invited to take a day of their choosing as their day off in the leadup to 26 January.

PS. The link will take you to our online community for evaluators and impact measurement practitioners. Great place. Great people.
Here’s to sparking, nurturing, and sustaining creativity in students!🥳
We’re excited to celebrate the success of our evaluation client 100 Story Building's program Story Hubs, a school and community program aimed at developing curious, confident and engaged learners.
We invite you to find out more about Story Hubs by downloading their updated program prospectus for 2024, the “What, Why, How?” information package for the 2024-2026 intake, or by reading about their outcomes, Theory of Change, and more through this link: https://www.100storybuilding.org.au/story-hubs.
In our work with The Difference Incubator, Jess worked alongside the TDI team to create a futures-oriented theory of change that underpinned the organisational strategy and outcomes measurement. This inspiring strategy reimagines how social enterprises and women entrepreneurs might be supported in Australia and the Pacific.
The result is, in TDi’s own words, a new strategy that’s not only a ‘clarion call to action’ but an invitation to hope, collaborate, and experiment.
We invite you to explore their new five-year plan and to listen to TDi CEO Anthea Smits talk you through their next phase.

With the referendum date now known we wanted to share why Clear Horizon supports the establishment of a Voice to Parliament. For over 200 years, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples have been denied a meaningful voice in the decisions that affect their lives. The Voice to Parliament will provide a way for First Nations peoples to have a say in matters that are important to them, such as health, education, housing, and justice.
It will get us closer to closing the gap between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians and creating a more just and equitable society. But we also need to address the historical injustices in this country. This is why we support the Uluru statement from the Heart in full (voice, treaty, truth) and continually strive to become better allies. And this is why Clear Horizon supports the establishment of a Voice to Parliament.
Here are six things you can do right now to support the campaign:
-Volunteer with your local community Yes group.
https://hubs.li/Q020F2Pj0
-Attend your city’s Walk For Yes event on Sunday, 17 September.
https://hubs.li/Q020F2Pj0
-Donate to help send campaign resources to the areas that need it most.

-Use our selfie tool to add a Yes frame to your profile picture.
https://hubs.li/Q020F1qz0
-Call or text your friends and family to encourage them to vote Yes.
Volunteer in your community This campaign will only be as strong as our volunteers – people like you willing to lend your time and talent. Are you ready to take the first step?
