"The CBH Grass Roots Leadership short course in Albany was an eye opening few days shared with a group of likeminded men and women from across regional WA. The information presented by AIM UWA was incredibly informative, relevant and valuable. The course explored such interesting perspectives of leadership and management; teaching participants to celebrate their strengths and develop strong personal brand. I recommend this course to all members of our regional farming and business community. Thank you so much for such a great initiative CBH Group"
