Cattle Council Rising Champions

Do you want to 'get involved' in the Australian beef industry? Do you want to meet like-minded young people committed to the Australian beef industry to share ideas, create networks and contribute positively to our industry at the state, national and international level?
 
If so, Cattle Council Rising Champions Initiative may be the gateway to your involvement in the Australian beef industry you've been waiting for!
The Cattle Council Rising Champions Initiative, which is designed and coordinated by Cattle Council of Australia with the support of NAB Agribusiness, Rural Press Limited and DAFF aims to inspire, empower and support young people, who are passionate about the Australian beef industry, to harness the opportunities and address the challenges arising in our industry now and into the future.
 
Those who want to create networks among beef industry leaders and between the ages of 21 and 35 passionate about cutting positive tracks for Australia’s cattlemen and women can apply for Cattle Council Rising Champions Initiative. Matched with a mentor, who is also a beef producer on Cattle Council, candidates will travel to Longreach to share their views through a personal project on the ‘real-life’ beef industry challenges and participate in field tours and leadership days. The 2012 NAB Agribusiness Rising Beef Industry Champion will win an all-expenses paid beef tour and attend the Livestock Congress in Denver, Colorado, USA, aligned with the National Western Stock Show.

Applications close 31 August, 2011. Visit www.cattlecouncil.com.au/risingchampions to apply!
