REGIONAL EVENTS
These events are specific to your region and are driven
by the volunteer Regional Leaders, with assistance from
your Hub Leader and the Regional Leader Support
Manager.

Regional events can take on many different forms and
scale such as on-farm technical workshops, site visits,
wellbeing events, social dinners, guest speakers, movie
nights, and more.

Confidence and leadership has grown in teams that
deliver events that they have total ownership over, which
are in response to their assessment of their region’s
needs.

The challenge of bringing together a creative, well-
planned, fully promoted and professionally delivered
event leads to strengthening a regional team, building
better relationships through connection and growth of
the Regional Leaders.
Regional events are an ideal way to build strong
relationships with commercial and industry partners in
your region.

Small social events
Never under-estimate the importance of a catch up over
a coffee at a local café or Farm Source store, building
connections on a monthly or regular basis.
