QORF eNews January 2020 No images? Click here Run! by Lachlan Peat, Visioning the Outdoors, 2019 Hi there, 2020 is well underway and what a year it has been so far for the outdoors - long hot summer holidays, bushfires, floods, drought ... one of the first initiatives we have been involved in this year was the multi state webinar, Bushfire Recovery for the Outdoor Sector. Hosted by QORF and with over 100 outdoor professionals participating from around the country, the webinar addressed what the outdoor sector needs to recover, and how everyone can contribute to make that happen. The QORF AGM is coming up on March 11 and promises to be one of our most significant meetings to date. Members will be asked to vote on the proposed change to Outdoors Queensland – a new constitution along with a new name. The proposed changes will set us up to best address the issues our outdoor sector will face and streamline delivery of strategic priorities. We encourage all QORF Green Circle Members to attend and be part of this important occasion. ( See below for more detail) Read on for more news, events and outdoor info ...
