QRRRWN - Queensland Rural Regional & Remote Women's Network’s Post

This month we see Board Member Carolyn (Carrie) Bourke finish her two year term on the RRR Women Board. Carrie contributed significantly to our Embracing Leadership Program, and helped us deliver maximum impact to participants. Recently Carrie also brought her experience in the rodeo circuit to host our first ever RRR Women Warick Rodeo Round-Up. Carrie has dedicated her attention to detail, patience, passion and positivity to our organisation and we so appreciate all she has done for our board and members. See you ring-side sometime Carrie 🐴 A message from Carrie: "When I applied for a board position with RRRW, my goal was to gain experience, particularly in governance, and to understand how RRRW CONNECT, DEVELOP, and INSPIRE women across the state. What I received, however, was far more than I anticipated. Through the Embracing Leadership Program, I had the privilege of experiencing the program firsthand in both Toowoomba and Bundaberg. I met so many incredible women eager to take the next step in their personal and professional growth. Partnering with Actrua reinforced my belief that true leadership begins with understanding oneself. Leading with confidence is about self-awareness, which in turn creates a better working environment and fosters stronger networks. Participating in board functions has given me valuable insights into what it takes to set strategic direction, create impactful events, and build lasting connections within our communities. It has been both a privilege and an opportunity to work alongside such inspiring individuals on the board. Through this role, I've developed meaningful friendships and learned more than I could have imagined. Ultimately, I have come to appreciate that it takes the collective knowledge and passion of dedicated individuals to make a lasting impact and shape the future of RRRW and the women it supports."

Congratulations Carrie! It was a great pleasure to partner with you on the Embracing Leadership Program and to support 84 rural, regional and remote Queensland women to invest in their personal growth and leadership development. Wishing you all the best for whatever comes next for you.
