IN ORDER TO LIVE UP TO OUR NAME, IN 2019 WE’VE OPTED TO FORMALISE OUR NETWORK WITH NOMINATED COMMUNITY CHAMPIONS THROUGHOUT REGIONAL QUEENSLAND AND NORTHERN NSW.
OUR GOALS ARE:
-
To ensure that regional members outside of the Brisbane city centre feel included and have equal opportunity to contribute to the community.
-
To grow our membership base, theme camps and community in regional areas.
From February 2019, we’ve started small with the Northern Rivers area, and plan to grow the network as this new program finds its feet.
Watch this space!
If you live regionally and would like to get involved, or better involved, in our community, you can contact your Regional Champion for updates on the committee’s and the community’s activities, support to hold fundraisers and events, and for a more chances to connect socially.
