Held in Howlong on April 2, the graduation was attended by Federation Council mayor Cheryl Cook, Cr Susan Wearn, Albury MP Justin Clancy and showcased the participants' hard work and dedication.

Participants from the Federation Council area presented the Corowa Golf Club Multicultural Festival, stewardship of Howlong Natural Environment Parklands, and Federation Astronomy and Extraterrestrial Interest Group.

Cr Cook said it was a privilege to witness the culmination of the Tim Fischer Community Leadership Program and to celebrate participants achievements.

"These individuals have demonstrated exceptional leadership potential and a strong commitment to their communities,” she said.

“The projects they presented are a testament to their dedication and creativity."

The program is named in honour of the late Tim Fischer AC FTSE, a much loved and respected former Australian politician who was leader of the Nationals and Deputy Prime Minister in the Howard Government.

He was passionate growing leadership in rural and regional areas.

The 2025 program was delivered in partnership with Greater Hume Council and Alpine Valleys Community Leadership, and the Border Trust with funding from the NSW Government’s Stronger Country Communities Fund.
