Community Southwest is delighted to announce the participation of Damian Drum MLC at our forthcoming “Towards 2020: Collaboration – Doing it better in 2020” Conference.
Damian Drum MLC is the deputy leader of the Victorian Nationals in the Upper House.
He is also the Shadow Parliamentary Secretary for Rural and Regional Development.
Damian is chairman of the Parliament of Victoria Rural and Regional Committee which is an all party, joint investigatory committee of the Parliament of Victoria and as such Damian is the Chair of the Parliamentary Inquiry into the Extent and Nature of Disadvantage and inequity in Rural and Regional Victoria.
Damian’s participation at our conference is most welcome, especially considering one of the purposes of the Community Southwest Conference is to enhance collaborative initiatives and to enhance the wellbeing of our Community. This closely aligns to one of the aims of the inquiry which is to “identify priorities for action by Government to tackle key rural and regional disadvantage issues”.
Damian’s presentation will be a fantastic opportunity for delegates to hear comment on some very topical issues from a leader in Rural and Regional matters.
