Building Resilient Communities: Our Journey with the Changemaker Series
Over February and March, our dedicated AgBiz & CBC staff had the incredible opportunity to participate in the @Changemaker Series—an initiative led by FRRR aimed at strengthening drought resilience in rural and regional communities.
During insightful sessions held in @Benalla, @Beechworth, and @Rochester, we explored the key drivers of change in our communities. What motivates change, and how can we be part of facilitating it? These conversations deepened our understanding of the forces that shape our regions and how we can take an active role in that process.
As we reflect on these learnings, we’re inspired to become catalysts for positive change. What can we do to ensure our communities are resilient, ready to overcome challenges, and seize new opportunities for growth? Together, we can drive the change our regions need.
