We are thrilled to announce the 13 recipients of the ASA Bursaries who will attend the Agricultural Shows of Australia National Conference on the Gold Coast from 13–16 February 2025.
This year, 12 bursaries were generously funded by the Agricultural Shows of Australia, with a 13th bursary kindly donated by the Royal Shows as part of their sponsorship of the Gala Dinner. As a collective of seven Royal Shows, they received a complimentary pass to the conference and chose to donate it to an emerging leader within the show movement.
Congratulations to the following outstanding recipients and their representing show societies:
- Caitlin Grieve – Ballarat Agricultural and Pastoral Society & Midlands Group
- Dione Howard – Lockhart Show Society
- Elise Kennedy – Pinnaroo Agricultural Society Inc & Access Ag Shows
- Ingrid Miller – Longreach Show Society
- Jack Mayhew – RAS Youth Group

- Matthew Hillier – Fraser Coast
- Michael Roffe – RAS Youth Group
- Nathaniel Modra – Mundulla Show Society
- Sarah Stanbury – RAS Youth Group
- Shale Sutherland – Canungra Show Society

The bursary program is a testament to ASA’s commitment to fostering emerging leaders and empowering show societies across the nation. The recipients will have the opportunity to learn, network, and bring innovative ideas back to their committees to further enrich their local agricultural shows.
We wish all recipients an enriching experience at the conference and look forward to seeing the positive impact they will make within their communities.
Congratulations to all recipients once again.
