Rural Leaders inspire generations of leaders to influence positive change in our agribusiness and rural communities through their Nuffield and Kellogg programmes. They are focused on developing leadership capability that enables our rural communities to flourish and keeps New Zealand at the forefront of global agribusiness.
Back in January we met the first cohort of Rural Leaders hearing how the programme worked and having an opportunity to network with the lucky programme participants. Now, the second cohort are in session and they have a new CEO at the helm, so what better opportunity to connect with to connect with the new members and hear their focus, priorities and challenges, as well as to understand where the focus of their research lies. Creating this energy to move the future of agri forward requires the connections between the organisations on the precinct to be grown and strengthened.
Join us to hear from the new CEO of NZ Rural Leaders, Chris Parsons on how the Lincoln precinct can help support this initiative by connecting and collaborating with the second of the 2020 cohort.
