Sally was among the eight NSW finalists named as Rural Achievers for 2016.
And she hasn’t looked back since.
“It’s a life changing experience,” she said.
“It opened so many doors for me, I’ve been networking with the most incredible people and the week at the Sydney Royal Easter Show was one of the best weeks in my life.”
Sally is a third generation farmer and as a result of her participation in the program, she said she’s more involved with her community.
She attended Trundle Central School and has five university degrees.
September 30 is the last day to apply for the RAS Rural Achiever program, which recognises and celebrates the positive contribution young people make to agriculture and rural communities.
Finalists participate in a 12-month program that provides a range of networking and professional development opportunities, including a seven-day behind-the-scenes experience at the 2017 Sydney Royal Easter Show, official functions with RAS Councilors and the Agricultural Societies Council of NSW representatives, cocktail reception at Government House, and tour of NSW Parliament House.
All finalists receive $2000 in prize money, a 12-month RAS Alumni Membership and are outfitted in the latest country clothing from Akubra and Thomas Cook Clothing Co.
