John Brockelsby, known as ‘JB’, has been associated with the Australian Rural Leadership Foundation since the first Australian Rural Leadership Program was run in 1993 and has been instrumental through his involvement in every outdoor session, up to and including Course 17, with the exception of Course 3. John has been firmly committed to the Australian Rural Leadership Foundation’s aims and objectives and takes great pride in his long association, believing that it plays a vital role, not only in enhancing the strength of the rural sector to position Australia in facing its future, but also in bringing together all the peoples of Australia.
