Leadership Wimmera is a regional leadership program designed specifically for the Wimmera, Grampians and Mallee regions. Annually, Leadership Wimmera seeks nominations from candidates from seven Local Government Areas (Horsham Rural City Council, Ararat Rural City Council and the Shires of Northern Grampians, Yarriambiack, West Wimmera, Buloke and Hindmarsh) to participate in our programs.
Mentoring Wimmera Women
Mentoring Wimmera Women will provide twenty regional women with targeted training in mentoring, building leadership capacity in the region and strengthening the network of women in agriculture. Training will take the form of a two day retreat and four full day workshops. Participants will be selected to provide a range of young women as well as more experienced women
Increased leadership skills in participants – increased capacity for women to participate in community and industry issues. Participants will be more confident to engage in agricultural networks (such as the Wimmera Grains Cluster, Wimmera Machinery Field Days committee and Victoria No Till Association) and strategic regional discussions about sustainable farm planning. Indigenous women participants will be encouraged to be more active in the Native Title processes within the region.
Ongoing regional networks of women in agriculture will be established – there is support available through the Leadership Wimmera network for further training and networking opportunities. The network will provide opportunities for information sharing across regional communities.
Participation by women in the industry debate around strategic issues has historically been low. Mentoring Wimmera Women will provide a base for women to be more active in the discussions about key regional issues such as climate change, new opportunities in agriculture and community response to change.
Mentoring Wimmera Women is supported by the Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry Community Networks and Capacity Building
