This is not to say that our First nation=E2=80=99s b= rothers and sisters from overseas are not able to register as delegate= s and participate; in fact, nothing could be further from the truth. P= lans have been formulated to make both the men=E2=80=99s and women=E2=80= =99s conferences to become full blown international events. As such, e= xpressions of interest are now being sought from community groups and = individuals who would wish to be part of the organizing community howe= ver dates and venue for the 2015 World Indigenous Men=E2=80=99s Confer= ence and the 2015 World Indigenous Women=E2=80=99s Conference has not = been chosen at this point in time. Because of the federal government=E2= =80=99s tough budgets, no funding will be sought from any funding bodi= es. The conferences will be self funded with the initial capital for t= he events coming from ICS itself.=20 Moreover, we believe a perfect platform has been established with gras= s-roots communities being the driving force for both the 2014 National= Indigenous Men=E2=80=99s and 2014 National Indigenous Women=E2=80=99s= Conferences. To further encourage participation, a 25% discount on re= gistration fees for the 2015 World Indigenous Men=E2=80=99s Conference= and the 2015 World Indigenous Women=E2=80=99s Conference will be offe= red to delegates who attend this year=E2=80=99s event. We have many ex= citing guest speakers for the men=E2=80=99s and women=E2=80=99s confer= ences however we would like to highlight two great speakers to spark y= our interests.=20 STEVE WIDDERS is one of the motivational speakers at the 2014 Indigeno= us Men=E2=80=99s Conference. Steve is a descendant of the Anaiwan /Kam= iloaroi people of Northern NSW (Armidale/Moree). He was declared medic= ally and legally blind by the late Professor Fred Hollows at age 35.

Though blind, = Steve sees himself as a Man of Vision and prefers to talk of his Abili= ty rather than his Disability. He walked the Kokoda Track in 2011 to h= onour Aboriginal soldiers who fought there during WW2 and rode a tande= m bicycle between Brisbane and Sydney to promote men=E2=80=99s health = and well being. Steve is one of the 2013 NSW Senior=E2=80=99s Week Amb= assador, a member of the NSW Disability Council, the NSW Police Adviso= ry Council and the National Aboriginal and Islander Day Observance Com= mittee (NAIDOC).=20 Furthermore, one of the exciting guest speakers for the 2014 Indigenou= s HON.
