Next time you log in to the social networking site (www.facebook.com), make sure you check out the AgQueensland network which has been set up to provide a forum for discussing topics of interest as well as promoting various relevant events across the state. Join us today!     Future directions     The Young Member Network is just that – a network of young members of AgForce under 35 years of age. It operates as a contact group. Notices about social events are by email or posted on the AgForce website. Events may be held in different regions with a focus on those regional members. In South East region a function is held in conjunction with Farmfest; in the Central region it is the Sundowner at the AgGrow field days. A function is also held annually at the MEATing Centre at the Ekka. The South West region has held a bursary competition whereby Young Members will be funded to attend a conference or workshop that will further their industry knowledge and contacts. From July 2007 we will consider how we can better use the “members-only” website for contact between Young Members. We have links that may be of interest to members. We encourage you to submit any link that you think is worthwhile. It is intended that members of the Network will also be profiled on the new web page, so we will be looking for stories to showcase the variety of interests, activities and jobs that you hold.   Alex O’Neill AgForce Membership Committee chair       Our Mission The AgForce Future - Young Member Network exists to inspire, foster and support young member development within AgForce. This network will operate with open communication, upholding the philosophies, values and culture of AgForce and act with honesty, integrity and trust. AgForce Future will build relationships with rural stakeholders that will allow relevant issues to be recognised and real outcomes achieved. Our involvement will enhance the diverse profile of young members and promote their growth in rural industry for a positive future.
