A report from a forum called Team Up and Prosper - Rural Women in Decision Making. It was held in November 1997 and organised by NSW Agriculture’s Rural Women’s Network and Cobar Rural and Community Network.

The forum attracted more than 100 women of diverse backgrounds from throughout rural NSW. Through forums such as Rural Women in Decision Making, rural women learn from the experiences of self-employed women in business, or in the boardrooms of business or other organisations. It is an opportunity for rural women to develop the skills and confidence to step forward in their own arenas.
