"I believe by expanding my understanding of important local, national and international issues affecting rural Australia, by exposing me to a range of business, industry, government, and community leaders and encouraging me to challenge and learn from their wisdom, by enabling me to develop a close and diverse network across a broad cross-section of backgrounds, sectors and outlooks and providing the tools and the encouragement to develop the confidence to persue my personal vision,
the ARLF, through its Progam, has greatly enhanced my ability to contribute to making rural Australia a better place to live, work and do business. I feel a strong commitment to seek out future opportunities to do so." – Suzanne Martin
