Rotary Means Business Presents AN EVENING WITH Sue Middleton

Board Member: Foundation for Regional & Rural Renewal

Banking the next Boom in WA

How we can use the competitive advantage of WA regions to capture opportunities for the state including regional entrepreneurship, opportunities to invest in the regions and support change agents.

For over three decades, Sue Middleton has been a champion and highly effective advocate for regional Australia. Sue has been Chair of the Regional Development Trust and a member of the National Farmers Federation Federal Economics and Farm Business Committee. Sue has also been a member of the National Water Grid and the Regional Telecommunications Review Panel. She has been awarded the Centenary Medal for Services to Regional Australia in 2002, and in 2010 was awarded the Rural Woman of the Year for Australia.

Sue is the co-founder and Director of the Moora Citrus group of companies which have changed the face of the citrus industry in Western Australia, and been part of developing the WA citrus export program to Asia. These companies employ over 150 people in peak season in regional WA.

She also manages a consulting business which supports rural communities to better manage change. We are privileged to hear Sue’s views on the future of our regions, and, how RMBWA and Rotary may play a part in that future.
