Goulburn Murray Community Leadership are committed to building communities by empowering community leaders across the Goulburn Murray region and NSW Border Communities.
OUR MODEL
The GMCL Community Leadership Model is the foundation for every program we deliver. The model encompasses three key areas of learning and exploration, which we believe to be the core components of what makes a community leader.
CL = Community Leadership
Leadership
The development of leadership capacity at the individual, community and organisational level
Regional Awareness
An awareness of the strengths, challenges and foundations or our regional communities
Mobilisation
Demonstrations of leadership through civic engagement and action in community
GMCL PROGRAMS
Goulburn Murray Community Leadership is evolving from delivering a single leadership program to creating a comprehensive learning system aimed at building stronger local communities and enhancing the region’s well-being and liveability. For nearly three decades, the Fairley Leadership Program has laid a strong foundation for change, equipping hundreds of leaders to tackle local challenges. However, the growing complexity of regional pressures requires a new approach.
To address these challenges, we are shifting from a standalone program to a dynamic community development system. This transformation will increase participation, foster localised learning, and ensure our strategies reflect the diversity of our communities. By mobilising more community leaders, we can amplify our impact across the region.
Our commitment is to build stronger communities by developing people. With a focus on the future, we are dedicated to implementing an action-based learning system that will significantly contribute to the Goulburn Murray region’s well-being and liveability, creating a future-ready community.
