ARLP 27 graduates

Courage, tenacity, and resilience – what started with the onset of a pandemic, ended in a celebration of new normal with a cohort better equipped to lead change than any other.

Congratulations to the 27th cohort of the Australian Rural Leadership Program on their graduation in Canberra last night.

In the words of the honourable guest, Sir Peter Cosgrove “We are so proud of you”.
