"It was interesting to reflect on the great distance I have come in that short time. I am in the process of realising many of the personal and professional goals I identified at the beginning of the program. I have recently been appointed as a Director on an industry board, and I am actively involved in two organisations which focus on the interests and development of regional/rural women. I am building a productive network of like-minded big-picture women, who are intent on collaborating and sharing ideas to create change. It is satisfying to mention to people my participation in the ARLP, as it immediately affords me credibility and prestige!" Barb Grey
