[MEDIA RELEASE] The Queensland Farmers’ Federation and The Connection Table are working together to build leadership capacity across Queensland’s agriculture sector

The Connection Table is proud to be collaborating with the Queensland Farmers' Federation (QFF). Through this collaboration, QFF's team will join The Connection Table's national rural leadership network to strengthen their leadership capacity and extend their impact across the communities and industries they serve.

The Connection Table is a professional network that builds the visibility, capability and influence of leaders from regional, rural and remote Australia. Members gain access to curated professional development, board and advisory opportunities, mentorship, governance training and a powerful national network of peers.

By working with The Connection Table, QFF is investing directly in the leadership development of its staff, ensuring they are connected, visible and equipped to amplify the voices of Queensland's agriculture sector.

"At QFF we are proud to represent our peak body members and Queensland agriculture more broadly and central to this is the capability of our team," said Jo Sheppard, CEO of the Queensland Farmers' Federation. 

"By joining The Connection Table we are investing in our people, providing them with access to national networks and professional development that will enhance their ability to support our members and ensure Queensland agriculture continues to have a strong voice at decision making tables."

"The rural, regional and remote professional development focus of The Connection Table and the peers and mentors the network offers are truly valuable opportunities for an organisation like QFF."

The Connection Table Co-Founder Jo Palmer said the partnership demonstrates the Queensland Farmers' Federation's commitment to empowering its people and strengthening regional leadership.

"We are delighted to welcome the QFF team into the network. This collaboration ensures that the leaders working every day to support Queensland's agricultural industry are supported by a professional development network specifically built for regional, rural and remote."
