“AWDT’s Escalator programme opened my world to so many more possibilities than I had envisaged. The programme crafted and enhanced my leadership skills, grew my understanding of governance, and enabled me to have greater confidence to step up and contribute more effectively for the benefit of our rural communities and sector. The Escalator Alumni has continued to support my leadership path, and I will be forever thankful I was selected for the programme.”
