Two cotton industry leaders selected for ARLP’s Cohort 29

CRDC

Central Queensland cotton grower Aaron Kiely and Paraway Pastoral Co’s Jack Brennan have today been announced as participants in Course 29 of the Australian Rural Leadership Foundation’s ARLP, with support from the Australian cotton industry.

The ARLP is Australia’s longest and most in-depth experiential leadership development program giving participants a valuable opportunity to grow their leadership and create a network of change-makers to positively influence their organisations, industries, and communities across rural, regional and remote Australia.

Participants engage in a range of experiential learning opportunities in varying contexts during their four sessions over 15-months.

Thanks to the generous support of sponsors, 28 scholarships each valued at $50,000 have been awarded in a highly competitive selection process which began in late 2021.

The cotton industry is proud to support both Aaron and Jack through the program: Aaron is sponsored by CRDC, Cotton Australia and Australian Food and Fibre, and Jack by our three organisations plus Paraway Pastoral.

Our congratulations to Aaron, Jack and all selected for Course 29 of this preeminent rural leadership program.
