QWaLC's board is an integral part of its role as the peak body for natural resource management volunteers. The board consists of a community representative from each of Queensland's NRM regions. This makes QWaLC truly representative of the NRM groups across Queensland, as our board members highlight the issues in each region.
Board members are elected from each region. This year will see a number of our board positions go through the election process. More information will be available on this site soon.
QWaLC board meetings will be held in February (10-02-09), April (28-04-09), July and October 2009. If you would like to have your views represented to the board or share a particular experience as a community NRM group or NRM volunteer, contact the board member for your region.
