NRM Champions

Going from community members to community leaders

In 2007, people from across the region participated in a four month course to go from active locals, to champions for their communities.

QMDC's NRM Champions course is now looking for more active community members to become the next round of community leaders.

The NRM Champions course is a leadership course helping community members to better represent their communities in the natural resource management field, not only at a local level, but also at higher government levels.

The course includes four workshops, taking participants to different venues across southern Queensland. Each workshop covers a range of topics, including:

personal development
communication skills
leadership
community engagement in natural resource management
achieving the triple bottom line
local, regional and global natural resource management issues.

An open forum will be held in Toowoomba for interested people, where the 2007 participants will present their experiences of and since the course.

Applications are now open for the 2008 NRM Champions and close COB Friday 22nd February.
