2020 Strategic Plan & Key Goals
This Strategic Plan extends to June 2020. It drives our commitment to connecting, inspiring and developing rural regional and remote women in Queensland. It sets out how we meet the objectives under the QRRRWN Constitution and outlines our vision, mission, core values and goals for 2020 that were set by the Board in December 2019.
2020 Key Goals are:
1. Ensure people within the network can connect with one another & feel connected
2. Financial stability today and into the future
3. Conduct 2 or 3 events at the State level
4. Develop our member value proposition to meet member needs.
Continued funding for 2020
Our Youth Program & Mentoring is made possible by the Office of Women and the Queensland Government into 2020.
In 2019 and 2020 our Annual Conference and the Strong Women in Leadership Awards are supported by:
- the Foundation for Rural & Regional Renewal;
- Office of Women and the Queensland Government through their support of both the SWLA Awards and bursaries and the Youth Program which is conducted at the conference;
- Westpac who sponsors the Breakfast and attendance of its keynote speaker; and
- Panda Pearls generously supports our Annual Conference and SWLA by donating gifts for speakers, prizes for awardees and raffles.
We are also fortunate to have received funding for our programs from a range of other sources including the Financial Planning Association and local sponsors where events are held

SUPPORT OUR PARTNERS
Our Commitment to Rural, Regional & Remote Women
Our strategic plan focus on both our members and their unique needs together with the founding objectives of QRRRWN. Keeping members at the centre of what we do, through regular feedback channels and our direct engagement is crucial to QRRRWN’s effectiveness. We aim to ensure that our decisions about programs, education, training and support mechanisms are evidence based, informed by research and by the needs of members. We are keen to strengthen our ability to build strong working relationships with government agencies and with the communities where our members are situated to ensure the delivery of our work and its longevity in supporting rural, regional and remote women.
Consultation Process
An updated strategic plan will be released after June in 2020. The strategic plan will be informed and developed after extensive consultation with members, partners, sponsors, government agencies, our supporters and other stakeholders including current board members. The draft strategic plan will then be provided to QRRRWN members for comment prior to being presented to the board for approval and adoption.
