2013 National Rural Women’s Conference

Written By Cristy Houghton

As part of an ongoing commitment to youth leadership across the Riverina, RDA-Riverina announced its support for the 2013 National Rural Women’s Conference and sponsored three young women to attend the inaugural conference.

The NRWC was held 18 – 20 February 2013 in Canberra and featured more than 30 exceptional presenters who shared their experiences of business, community, rural issues and the joys and challenges of rural life. 380 women from across the country attended the conference, with more than 35 representatives from the Riverina region.

RDA-Riverina offers a number of youth-focused sponsorship opportunities throughout the year and encourages youth with a passion for improving and contributing to their communities to apply.
