As a key sponsor of the Program, General Manager of the National's Agribusiness Division, Mike Carroll, says the National is committed to playing its role in assisting the development of future agri-leaders, and in making business and leadership skills accessible to farmers.
"The Marcus Oldham Rural Leadership Program is a wonderful initiative that helps to ensure the development of outstanding leaders in all areas of agriculture, whether it be farm management or agri-politics," said Mr Carroll.
"By supporting a program that helps equip people with the attributes to guide Australian agriculture to a prosperous future, the National feels we are making a meaningful and positive contribution to the future of all Australians."
Keynote speakers will include industry leaders Brian Clarke, Neil Inall, Mike Stephens, David Mitchell, Adrian Kennelly and John Henwood.
