There are another lucky group of people about to embark on their LMCLP journey, feeling all the emotions you may remember (if you are a graduate) from your pre-LMCLP journey: nervous anticipation; do I have time?; do I have the right clothes?; am I really a ‘leader’?; is this going to be worth my while?; what will the other people be like?; is it really as good as they all say it is?
We have increased our numbers yet again, to 30, to accommodate as many as possible of the incredibly inspiring people.
We have the usual mix of farmers, community workers, business people, those working in government, education and in natural resource and environmental management.
Come along to our Lauch on Friday 17th February in Newbridge to meet the 2017 group.

Our graduates are active out in communities, making a difference and supporting important community initiatives. Here is another example of a hugely successful community project in action!
Last week Jason Hensley's (LMCLP 2016) community project culminated in Cohuna's inaugural Bra Unclipping event. A theatre restaurant with 150 people attending.
The aim of the project was to host a fun uplifting evening, a chance for people to connect and have a laugh and most of all to support the dairy industry.
The show conducted by B BAC Productions (from Boort, Buckrabanyule and Charlton), is a quirky Australian comedy that not only entertains, but also explored many rural community challenges. Well done Jason!
