Goulburn Murray Community Leadership proudly congratulates Fairley alumni recognised in the 2026 Community Honours and Awards. From national honours to local leadership achievements, these Fellows continue to make a meaningful impact across our region. Their service in community, culture, agriculture, health and volunteerism reflects the strength of grassroots leadership in the Goulburn Murray.

GMCL Alumni reunited to strengthen networks and launch new initiatives for 2026, including “Crazy Socks for a Fairley Good Cause” to raise funds for the Alumni Scholarship. The event showcased the growing momentum of the alumni community and its commitment to supporting emerging regional leaders.

The Regional Mobilisation Summit brought together community leaders from across the Goulburn Murray to celebrate local initiatives already creating meaningful change. With inspiring speakers, practical workshops, and shared learning, the Summit highlighted the power of connection, collaboration, and community-led action to shape the region’s future.

Goulburn Murray Community Leadership (GMCL) is proud to announce the appointment of seven new members to its Board, further strengthening our commitment to inclusive, community-led leadership across the region. 

As part of Goulburn Murray Community Leadership’s (GMCL) ongoing commitment to building regional leadership and mobilising community action, July marks the launch of the Community Action Network (CAN) Hub — an exciting new initiative delivered in partnership with The Resilience Canopy. The CAN Hub is designed to translate leadership insights into practical, local impact through the Resilience Canopy Practitioner Training in Echuca.

The 2025 Cultural Bus Tour brought together Fairley Leadership participants, alumni, sponsors, and community stakeholders for an enriching day exploring Greater Shepparton’s multicultural and religious diversity. Delivered in partnership with the Ethnic Council, the tour visited cultural sites and places of worship, fostering deeper understanding and inclusive leadership across the region.
