Networking Women in NRM Conference

In 2008 the Alinytjara Wilurara Natural Resources Management (AW NRM) Board held an extremely well attended and successful event called "Networking Women in NRM Conference".

As a result of all the positive feedback from the AWNRMB event, we are pleased to announce a second conference to support the needs of Aboriginal women involved in NRM.

With support from the Australian Government and the Alinytjara Wilurara NRM Board, the ‘Creating the link between a healthy environment and a healthy country conference' will be convened at the Standpipe Golf Motor Inn at Port Augusta on June 17 and 18 2010.

The AWNRMB recognises the enormous contribution that Aboriginal women make to protection of country and engaging younger people in knowledge transfer.

We further recognise the constraints that face many women in remote and isolated areas and hope that this event will offer ongoing dialogue between many groups separated by huge distances.

We want this opportunity to be made available to Aboriginal women from all Natural Resource Management Board regions in SA.

Whilst we are still in the planning process, the conference will include presentations on:

• Current NRM project work - What's working and why?
• New opportunities - Support, leadership, mentoring and development and how can we help you into the future?

More information is available on our website and registrations close on the 7th of May 2010.

Please be advised that conference places are limited so to ensure your place please register before the closing date.
