RNA FUTURE DIRECTIONS COMMITTEE

The Royal National Agricultural and Industrial Society's Future Directions Committee (FDC) is currently accepting applications for new members.
The FDC consists of a dynamic group of people hailing from disperse backgrounds both geographically and professionally. The FDC acts as an advisory committee to the RNA Council.  Beyond this the committee also operates its own agenda to value add to both the RNA and the Ekka.
Focused on issues pertaining to the younger demographic FDC members are aged between 18 35. The group meets monthly via teleconference with five face to face meetings held through the year in Brisbane.

In 2009 the FDC will drive three main focus areas:
Education
Non Ekka Events
RNA Promotion and Membership

If you are passionate about the future of agricultural and industrial pursuits in Queensland we encourage you to consider applying to join the RNA Future Directions Committee.
