This report outlines the results of a project to address the issue of women in
leadership roles with the sugar industry in Queensland. The aim of the project was to
increase participation of women and other members of the farm family business team,
as active members, in leadership roles within the organisation CANEGROWERS
through. • Building leadership capacity within the organisation • Working in partnership with CANEGROWERS to support and encourage the
involvement of women in all related education, training and development
programs. • Building closer links between women’s organisations and CANEGROWERS. The main recommendation is that the women in sugar groups set up formal
arrangements with regional companies of CANEGROWERS to deliver specific
outcomes to be negotiated through a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU). The
report also recommends that the SRDC continues to support specific research into the
needs of women in the sugar industry.
