The Statement reads:

CONGRATULATIONS GLENRAC

I recognise the achievements of Glen Innes Natural Resources Advisory Committee [GLENRAC] on receiving the Outstanding Community Group Award, at the Business NSW New England North West Business Awards held at Gunnedah recently. The group was recognised for improving the community's wellbeing and their efforts towards building sustainable agriculture, natural resource management and community capacity building.

I congratulate all involved with GLENRAC winning this award and for GLENRAC celebrating their 35-year milestone. GLENRAC is a not-for-profit community driven organisation, with their strategic direction and strong connection to their community provided by a volunteer committee of management and staff, including CEO Kylie Falconer, aided by Christine Davis, Karen Bavea, Eliza James and Karena Sokolan. I congratulate the current committee behind the team: Chair Julie Firth, Vice Chair Selena McMullen, Treasurer Sam Baker and Secretary Suzi Meyer.

I commend GLENRAC on supporting the collaborations between landholders, government agencies, community groups and service providers, as well as for addressing environmental, economic and social challenges, strengthening social bonds and empowering the community to achieve longevity of change to improve community wellbeing. Thank you for the invaluable contribution to Australian Agriculture.
