NRM Champions

Going from community members to community leadersSix of the nine Champions. Front row from left to right, Ashley Volz, Harley West, Tammy

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.
