World Jerseys Future Leaders Forum
Jersey Australia, in partnership with World Jersey, is excited to announce that for the 1st time within the frame of the Annual Conference program will be running the World Jersey Future Leaders Forum.
The Future Leaders Forum will provide a robust debate opportunity for participants to discuss the future of the Jersey breed and how they see the global jersey leadership can work together to build a stronger future for the Breed, World Jersey and our National Associations. Future Leader Forum participants are expected to be under 40 years of age, not be on the governing board of their Association but have shown leadership and engagement through varying levels of farmer leadership groups and sub-committees and recognized by their Association as a future board member.
All participants will be required to introduce and present on a topic of interest/concern for the forum to discuss. We ask that attendees submit 3 topics of interest that they would like to present on and discuss at the forum. We will respond on a first in basis to confirm the attendee’s topic. This will ensure we minimize duplication of topics.
