Central West Community Leadership Program McAllister Leadership is working with Vision21 and organisations and individuals from the Central West Region of Queensland to establish an annual community leadership program for the region, whose residents have been suffering a long and damaging drought.
Participating local government areas include Barcaldine, Barcoo, Blackall-Tambo, Boulia, Diamantina, Longreach and Winton. 21 talented people attended two modules at the first program and many have already made significant changes in their attitudes and lives. The Foundation for Rural and Regional Renewal (FRRR) provided funding, supported by funding from Vision21 and many local organisations. This broad partnership has been created to sustain the program over the long term. The program has established an alumni including the first leadership group made up of graduates of a range of leadership programs and has begun meetings and workshops for continually growing leadership and for co-support and to promote and support leadership as a critical element in developing community resilience and regional prosperity. Dr Gerry Roberts facilitated a follow-up workshop, exploring the role of Emotional Intelligence and Universal Values on leadership. Within a month of the program being held 3 people had gained better jobs and two had started new businesses which are doing increasingly well. The alumni of the program with the Central West community has since led its own leadership development activities for three years, continually expanding leadership skills and positive attitudes to engage more people in the development and resilience of the Central West region. That's a great outcome! |
Students day outStudents from the University of Queensland leadership programs had a day out at Shorncliffe with Pamela McAllister to explore more of Australian lifestyle.
This extraordinary group of young people from across the continents have developed into a cohesive and supportive group. Over 5 years of running the course students have come from 56 different nations. The conversations about leadership and democracy across cultures are vigorous and enlightening. The future is in good hands! |
