Angus Wood, Operations Manager at Mt Boothby Pastoral at Tintinara SA was awarded the inaugural Dr. Ian Parish Leadership Development Award, sponsored by Auspork Limited this year. Angus participated in the Marcus Oldham Rural Leadership Program, supported by NAB Agribusiness (participants pictured).
“It was great honour to be the inaugural recipient of the Dr. Ian Parish Leadership Award” Angus said and went on to say “that we are so proud that such an important legacy is here in Ian Parish’s name. Ian was a tremendous mentor and friend to Mt Boothby and specifically to Andrew Johnson our Director, and it is truly fitting that such a leadership program for the development of others, is in Ian’s honour. Congratulations Auspork”.
“The week long course was an amazing opportunity to improve my existing skills and learn new ones” Angus explained. “The course was very stimulating and challenging. It was fantastic to meet others from all over Australia and learning from them about other Agricultural industries”.
Angus highly recommends anyone who is developing their leadership roles within their pork farming business and/or the community to apply.
Expressions of Interest will be called from mid-January for two recipients for the May and August programs at Marcus Oldham.
