We referr to these members as the Group Representatives and they also help steer the organisation towards its vision. Click here to contact our office to find out how to gain membership in this class. 

All current Group Representatives (Membership Class Guarantee) should receive their nomination forms in the mail during October. Please return nomination forms to the Secretary, PO Box 85 Armidale NSW 2350 by the due date.

Nominees to the Board of Directors are drawn from the Group Representatives (Membership Class Guarantee) of Southern New England Landcare Ltd.

Directors and subsequent Office Bearers of the Board make decisions about governance, regional projects and staffing. They may also represent our organisation at events or on signficant issues, as well as on regional or state bodies relevant to landcare, sustainable agriculture and natural resource management.

There are many opportunities to contribute and we look forward to you helping us guide the organisation.
