Alison Mobbs, from Longreach, was chosen as the new QRRRWN president, following Georgie Somerset who was recently awarded life membership for her contribution to QRRRWN.
Ms Mobbs said she was thrilled to have been elected to lead QRRRWN, an organisation that she had been engaged with for a number of years.
“QRRRWN is a group that is very close to my heart,” she said.
“Over the years that I’ve been involved, QRRRWN has taught me so much, enabled me to meet so many inspirational women and has given me opportunities to build on my strengths and develop my leadership skills, which will greatly assist me in the exciting new role of president.”
Departing president, Georgie Somerset, said QRRRWN was lucky to have Ms Mobbs on board.
“She is a dynamic woman who has been an imperative member of QRRRWN for many years," she said.
"During her time on the QRRRWN board, I was able to work closely with Ms Mobbs to develop some fantastic initiatives that connect and inspire rural, regional and remote women as they work to build stronger communities and I know that Ms Mobbs will continue this work with fervour as she accepts the role of QRRRWN president.”
Ms Mobbs will lead a board of ten women in the planning and implementation of activities including a series of capacity-building webinars, an annual state conference and numerous networking events throughout the year. These events and activities are design to support rural, regional and remote women to enable them to build strong communities, businesses and rural industry.
