GMCL Alumni Committee Community Scholarship - 2026 Fairley Leadership Program

For nearly 30 years, the Fairley Leadership Program has been developing and connecting leaders who drive positive change across the Goulburn Murray region. Many of the region’s most impactful initiatives, collaborations, and community champions trace their roots back to this program.

To ensure this legacy continues, the GMCL Alumni Committee is launching the 2026 Fairley Leadership Program Scholarship Fund — a community-driven fundraising campaign that helps remove financial barriers for future participants.

Their goal is to raise funds to support at least one full scholarship for an emerging regional leader who may otherwise be unable to access this life-changing opportunity.

Every contribution, large or small, helps open the door for someone to grow their leadership capacity, strengthen their networks, and contribute meaningfully to the future of our region.

Why this matters:

• Builds regional leadership capacity and resilience.

• Creates opportunities for diverse voices and emerging leaders to participate.

• Ensures the program remains accessible, inclusive, and community-driven.

• Strengthens the legacy of the Fairley Leadership Alumni network, now nearly 750 strong.

How you can help:

• Make a one-off or ongoing donation.

• Encourage your organisation to sponsor a scholarship or match donations.

• Share the campaign across your networks to amplify community impact.

Together, we can empower the next generation of Fairley leaders — ensuring that financial circumstances never stand in the way of potential, passion, and purpose.
