Jim Adams, who was our CEO for an impressive 9.5 years, guided NLN’s strategic direction and growth with vision and steadfast dedication. He played a key role in laying a strong foundation for the National Landcare Network.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
With the growth of the organisation, Jim brought on\u00a0Jess Dickson\u00a0as Executive Officer.\u00a0During her\u00a0five years\u00a0in the role\u00a0she worked closely with the CEO to\u00a0support\u00a0relationships\u00a0with the NLN members and with the Federal government\u00a0that ensured the successful undertaking of NLN\u2019s activities.<\/p>\n
\u201cMuch of the work undertaken to build an organisation is unseen. It is the commitment to relationships, the building of trust and being a reliable partner and deliverer that underpinned the approach by all NLN staff. This steady work over time has left the Network in a much stronger position than a decade ago with greater capacity to engage our extensive community of more than 260,000 landcarers across Australia through our members groups in each State and Territory,” said NLN Chair Louise Duxbury.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
The reach of the Network was significantly boosted during the special project that brought the networking skills of\u00a0Kristin den Exter\u00a0to the task of\u00a0Partnerships Manager\u00a0over\u00a0four years.\u00a0Her ability to forge meaningful partnerships has been crucial in advancing NLN\u2019s mission, and her leadership\u00a0has been instrumental in the development of the Network leaving a strong lasting foundation for the impactful work of the NLN.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
As part of the Network\u2019s growth\u00a0Rosie Rayns\u00a0took up the role\u00a0of\u00a0Communications and Marketing Manager bringing\u00a0a fresh and dynamic approach to our outreach efforts.\u00a0During her year with the Network she established\u00a0innovative strategies significantly boosting\u00a0NLN\u2019s visibility and community engagement.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\u201cThe Network is now in its next stage of growth after a transition period with some uncertainty around funding. With the securing of funding for the coming more than four years we are now in a better position than ever to support the ambitions of landcarers across Australia.\u00a0As they embark on new endeavours, we want to express our profound appreciation for Jim Adams, Jess Dickson, Kristin den Exter, and Rosie Rayns. Their contributions have left an indelible mark, and their legacy will continue to inspire and guide NLN’s future activities.<\/p>\n
“We acknowledge the incredible work this exceptional team has undertaken and we are now looking forward with new programs in hand to take their legacy forward,\u201d said Louise.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
