We are proud of our network sharing, learning and contributing for a better regionThe fantastic network created by leadership programs was evident through the connections of our first guest speaker Waverley Stanley.
Kristy Frahm, RECLP 2016 participated in the Australian Rural Leadership Foundation’s Leading our Regions program in 2019 and heard Waverley speak. In her role as board member of Red Earth Community Foundation, Kristy invited Waverley to speak to our 2020 participants on their first evening in the Bunya Mts.
His words challenged our participants to lead themselves, invest in their leadership and make the most of the program they are on.
He paid tribute to Mrs Rosemary Bishop’s role in securing him a scholarship to the Toowoomba Grammar School which he believes changed the trajectory for his life.
Waverley and RECF chair Georgie Somerset are both alumni of Australian Rural Leadership Foundation’s core program, were boarders at Toowoomba boarding schools at the same time and finally met in the Bunyas!
