The Diversity in Agriculture Leadership Program is a 5-month mentoring and networking opportunity for women involved in agriculture with a passion for the industry and it’s future.
Designed to support the NFF’s goal to double the number of women in agriculture’s leadership ranks and to make agriculture an inclusive industry for all by 2030, the program offers unique opportunities and new experiences for women who are looking to take their leadership to the next level.
A key component of the program is the mentoring opportunity. In the program, each participant is carefully matched with an industry leading mentor to explore leadership goals and strategies.
In 2024, Participants will come together for a three-day leadership retreat in Canberra 25 – 27 June and again at the completion of the program for a graduation event, held alongside the NFF’s national conference in October. Participants will meet regularly with their mentor and take part in an online webinar series.
Now in its seventh year, the Diversity in Agriculture Leadership Program, boasts an alumni of 52 graduates, who have gone on to pursue high profile and impactful leadership positions and to be change-makers within their community.
The Program is supported by leading agriculture-focussed organisations who have joined with the NFF in committing to make meaningful change towards gender diversity in our sector. Partners report annually on their progress on gender equality.
