Filling the Gaps
Description
In this episode, we’re going to take stock of some of the key challenges all Community Leaders face, and some of the unique ways rural Community Leaders respond to them.
It's about Filling the Gaps, and embracing the spirit of doing the best you can with what you have.
You’ll meetthree local Community Leaders: Anna Lindstrand from Potoroo Palace, Jacqui Filby who works with Police citizens Youth Clubs NSW, and Angela George from the Eden Killer Whale Museum.
Anna, Jacqui and Angela outline short-term responses but also, at times, the need to look at the bigger picture. They detail the different types of organisational and community trouble-shooting they encounter, and how they grow, learn, harnes the wisdome of others, and in the process build community and strengthen people's individual skills.
Anna, Jacqui and Angela reflect on Leadership, what that word means to them; what leadership means to people in rural and regional areas; and of what community leadership in regional places like the Bega Valley can teach us all, no matter where we live, about community leadership as a whole.
