What are Regional Teams?
The 2020 QRRRWN Board is exploring the establishment of regional teams so that we can connect more regularly with our members. Such an approach would allow us to:
- gather our members into teams and reduce the impact of distance
- meet in those teams by teleconference or webinar
- collaborate across the State and also work closely with the Board to achieve the goals set for 2020
- provide timely and specific feedback to the board about the needs of members
- assist QRRRWN to run events locally within each region
- enable greater local collaboration with local Councils and business groups
- and roll out with greater ease development programs.
We will be in touch with more details in the coming weeks. Please note that the proposed Regional Teams are not branches of QRRRWN. They will be informal teams that are managed via our Volunteer Program.
The other Project Team members include Julie Mayne, Tracey Martin and Marie Cameron.
Which Region am I in?
The concept and project is being led by Genevieve Gleeson, Board Member. The regions may include:
- South East
- South West
- South Inland
- Central
- North Qld (including North West QLD, Far North, North East QLD)

Funded by the Foundation for Rural & Regional Renewal
In 2019 and 2020, the Foundation for Rural & Regional Renewal (FRRR) has provided funding for QRRRWN’s ‘Thriving Women, Thriving Communities Project’ that includes QRRRWN’s annual conference and the Strong Women in Leadership Awards. The funding extends to projects such as this Regional Teams & Volunteering Program.
We are deeply grateful to FRRR for their ongoing support to ensure that these events and programs are made accessible to our members and other rural, regional and remote women.
